Wow, I'm switching to Brotella too.
I was burning about a quart every 5-600 miles at first. Then I did the 02Pilot mod which bumped it up to about 1200 or so. When I do my next oil change after I get the car back, I'll install the CCV too and see what happens.

Which one in particular are you talking about? When googling that product, it seems there is a Lubro Moly branded product and a Liqui Moly product, as well as some variations within those brands. Exhibit A and B:Originally Posted by Smolck

I used the first one. My local NAPA carries it.

They are probably the same product. Part number is the same.

I am running rotella in mine right now, per the recommendation of someone here or on e46fanatics. I didn't want to go for the full on flush, so I decided to try Rotella, since it has better detergents. My cold start rattle has minimized significantly, although I do not know if it is from the Rotella, or simply from new oil + new CCV system. I am probably going to drive it for a total of a couple thousand miles, then drain and refill with Mobil 1.

Smolck, I used the engine flush on my first oil change since getting the ZHP. I assumed the engine was gunked up. I need to replace the OFHG soon. If it wasn't leaking before the flush, it sure is now. The valve cover gasket didn't spring any leaks. I mainly just want to see how the top side looks and how well the flush did at removing deposits. I'm running Castrol 0W40 Euro right now, but will give the T6 a try next, and then replace the valve cover gasket and check out the top side. I can't stand gunky engines.

Do you mean that reddish brown sludge that accumulates on the underside of the valve cover? I just sprayed it with degreaser and hosed it off when i did my VCG. Then I had to meticulously get at every damn crevice on that damn honey comb underside with a paper towel.

Yeah, I don't like to see varnish, sludge, etc. around the valves, cams, VANOS, valve cover, etc. I'm hoping the engine flush (and maybe a few more and possibly some T6 high detergent oil) will eventually get rid of all that. I checked my oil last night, and it's still amber since the flush, so that's a good sign that at least it got rid of some of the crud on this 155K engine.

I received my kit last week. I must've been one of the last ones to sign up. Now...to find the time to install
