Hi... i would suggest u go for Shell Helix or Castrol Edge Sport.....
 
Depend how you drive your car, Nasa engine oil should be fine.
Just change your oil after 5000km.

Just would like to ask you guys what is the right viscosity of engine oil to be used?:rolleyes:

Let say, which is better for a 318i. 5W-30 or 10W-40?:106:

Cheers..:wink:
 
you can start with 5w40 first. If not much of oil lost between service, then stick to it.
If too much oil evaporated, then change to 10w40.
BTW, nice avatar you have there.
 
Pardon me, i hope this is not out of topic. Just a curiosity . Normally how much oil you put in , is it 5L or just 4L in a M43 1.9 cc engine?

Better in performance or better in protection? .. they are trade off to each other..

10w-40 would be better in protection, 5w-30 would be better in engine performance.

... and I'm currently on 0w-30.. :p too bad 0w-20 is suicidal for the engine in tropical countries.. :(

please advise ,why do you change your engine oil so often? I get this carbon/ or leather or some kind of engine smell in the car despite my changing the 2 filters, still unable to solve the problem ! Any suggestion how I can solve the problem!

Please advise, thanks
