[QUOTE="Silver, post: 185616, member: 4217"] Bro VNP... on your engine oil additive question, I would not recommend it... the best is to use a good fully syn lube that has the BMW long life accreditation... and change it every 10K km (even though BMW recommends a change every 25K km). Every bottle of lube is made up from 80% Base Oil and 20% additives (normally supplied by a additive supplier). Base on this formula the Lube company obtains accreditition/approval from the OEM i.e BMW, Merc, Volkswagen etc. Therefore if you add any additive, it would screw up the lube formulation that the initial approval was based upon... Having said that, I must say that admittedly I have heard some good feedback from users on some engine oil additive used... I leave it to your good judgement... and WELCOME TO THE CLUB MAN! :) [/QUOTE]
