e36 what oil do u guys use???

[BmW1819]

i was wondering what oil do u guys use in the summer?? was looking into my owners manual and it says to use 15w40 "s52"

[T.Dot_E30]

In the summer/track use
LL-01: Motul 5w40 (forgot the line, not all are LL-01 approved)

Winter:
LL-98: Castrol 5W40

The Motul is really good, no lifter ticking after hard driving, with the Castrol after hard driving I can hear them tick for a little while.

Summer/Track - Amsoil 10w/50
Winter - Amsoil 5w/30

[BmW1819]

so a 5w30 is to thin in the summer eh???

If you want Motul oil let me know what you want, I have wicked prices on it, buy a case of 4 5liter jugs and it works out to $45 with tax per jug.

Personally I run 15w50 Motul syn in the car summer and 5w50 or 10/5w40 winter

I also tend to use mobile 1 10w30 in the summer.

LL-98 or LL-01. Viscosity grades are irrelevant.

10w40 - summer
5w30 - winter

Full base IV synthetic with an excellent additive package. Haven't heard anything bad about using it, so far so good (change it every 8k).
