Hey guys, I'm in between oil changes and need to add a bit of oil. After some searching, seems like the 2 go-to oils are either BMW 5w-30, or Mobil 0w-40. Is there any reason to go with one over the other? At my recent Inspection I, my indy shop put BMW oil in there so I would assume the safe bet is to go with BMW 5w-30. Any thoughts?
Also, I'm ordering from ECS so if anyone knows of a better place, please let me know!

I can't comment on mixing (or guessing whats in there now), but Walmart usually has the Mobil1 if you choose that route.

Gotcha thanks. I used to buy it for my Audi but wasn't sure if it was preferred over the Oem stuff

Castrol 0W30 is also pretty good, but M1 0W40 @ $25/jug at walmart is probably the cheapest you'll find.

If you're topping off and you know what is currently in the car go with that.

Yup, that's what I'm planning on. Actually, my local indie shop said to just come by and they will top it off free of charge. BTW - They do use BMW 5w30 Synth.Originally Posted by billyjack

The most awesome oil thread is here:

I remember reading this - it was a pleasure. A ton of useful info here anything from filters, types of oil, viscosity, LL-01, recommendations for racing, in hot/cold climates and pricing.

Thank you for that!!! I'll read up!

Mobile 1 0w40 for the ZHP.
