[QUOTE="loafer, post: 339117, member: 10508"] [URL]http://www.carbibles.com/engineoil_bible.html[/URL] Maybe this can help with deciding which oil to use. I've tried a few different types of oil before and they're all fully synthetic ones. 0W40 (Petronas Syntium 5000) - Alot of evaporation! I had to top up about 3 litres after a trip down to Penang. I was driving fast though. 10W40 (Ravenol) - Less, but I still had to top up about 1.5litres after driving about 6000km. 10W60 (Castrol Edge Sport, current) - Just did an oil change last week. Still too early to tell but first impressions is engine feels smoother and quieter now. Next oil change I'm going to try Liqui Moly. Driving a E36 328i as well. [/QUOTE]
