[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 339271, member: 4527"] Older generation engine the seals are less refined as a newer engine. So the moment you suffer oil loss, you should avoid thinner oil.. this one, you will notice leakage, wet, or white smoke. Old engine that's "used" to thicker oil (used many years) also very likely to suffer oil loss when switching to thinner oil because sudah longgar ma.. this one also you will notice leakage, wet, or white smoke. The current generation of BMW engine is suffering from oil loss is I believe, because of the on-demand oil pump (condition driven, not full time!! :eek:) and the magnesium alloy block.. no sign of leakage, wet or white smoke... it VANISHED, EVAPORISED! :eek: [/QUOTE]
