[QUOTE="Nailofar, post: 725462, member: 9609"] Hi all, I am driving 2010 E90 320d and recently i replaced my engine oil to Petronas Syntium 7000 0W-40. Previously, the car used Ravenol then Syntium 3000. As for Syntium 7000, this is new product from Petronas that is suitable for both petrol and diesel passenger car and got approval/specification for BMW LL-01. I know that the oil grade 0W is not required for our weather condition here but i am interested with low SAPS technology (Sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur) which i believe can give optimum engine protection in all conditions. Sometimes, people always say that the higher number for Syntium(7000,5000,3000,1000), the thinner the oil. Actually it is depend on the viscosity of the oil in cold and hot temperature. When i compare the viscosity between Syntium 7000, 3000, Ravenol VMO 5W-40, Liqui Moly Toptec 4100, the viscosity is not much different at 100 degC. So, after 1000k my driving with Syntium 7000, i can feel that the drive is smoother and slightly reduce diesel engine clatter. Even I am surprised that my wife also can notice the engine is smoother when she drive the car. Normally she don't care what i pour to the engine. This is just my personal experience (no technical prove/dyno to compare) and i am glad to share with fellow BMW owners here.
