[QUOTE="feisaldzul, post: 363424, member: 76"] This engine oil issue is a matter of personal preference. Different people choose different engine oil brands. Of coz they need to meet the standards set for e39. I personally use Castrol as they have been a long time partner with BMW. Your owner's manual has a section on Engine Oil. Here is an excerpt. [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][LEFT][COLOR=blue][B]Viscosity ratings[/B][/COLOR][/LEFT] [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=1][LEFT][COLOR=blue][B]Viscosity is the oil flow rating as established in SAE classes.[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=blue][B]The selection of the correct SAE class depends on the climatic conditions in the area where you typically drive your BMW.[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=blue][B]Approved oils are in SAE classes 5W-30 and SAE 5W-40.[/B][/COLOR][/LEFT][/SIZE][LEFT][/left][/FONT][LEFT][SIZE=1][/SIZE][/LEFT][SIZE=1] [/SIZE][FONT=Arial][SIZE=1][COLOR=blue][LEFT][B]These oils may be used for driving in all ambient temperatures.[/B][/LEFT] [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
