[QUOTE="Nik Mansor Mohamad, post: 289001, member: 8369"] Mine is E28 5201 '84 M20 engine. Being an old faithful semi-vintageee, I'm using 20W/50 for the past years. Thicker velocity cylinder oil is recommended if white smoke is sometimes visible, usually during early morning start or upon sudden acceleration. Regular top-up of cylinder oil once a week or every forthnightly (sometimed up to 1 litre) is a sign of piston ring wear N tear which then resulted to compression and power loss. I was recommended top overhaul to solve the above problems. [/QUOTE]
