Best Oil

speedhunter93 · 09-18-2017, 03:28 PM

What is the BEST engine oil to use on M5/M6 2013+?
Recommended oil weight? (never have been a fan of Bmw's twin power turbo etc oil)

AWF10M5 · 09-18-2017, 04:12 PM

i like mobile 0w-40

Previous owner told me he was burning 1 qt every 1k mile using whatever BMW told him. Upon taking delivery of car i did full oil change to mobile 0w-40 and now 1500 miles later not a drop of oil has burned.

I also used this oil in my AMGs.

M5_Brandoe · 09-18-2017, 06:37 PM

I use Mobil 0w-40 as well. Everyone has their own choice, but 0w40 has been great for me.

steeve13m · 09-23-2017, 08:05 AM

I use Total oil 5w40...

BPMSport · 09-25-2017, 01:38 AM

0w40 or 5w40. The 5w30 is too thin.

financenick · 09-26-2017, 01:15 PM

yes, i use 5w-40 now, seems to be the best for the car, used to use 10-60 and is too thick

Earthmaster · 09-26-2017, 01:41 PM

I use liqui moly 5w-40. Burns a quart every 5k miles on hard driving but not terrible. Then again im Tuned so... yeah.

speedhunter93 · 09-26-2017, 01:45 PM

I also ended up going with Liqui Moly 5w-40

Bardahl racing xcr c60 5w-50

M5_Brandoe · 09-27-2017, 07:43 AM

I was going to change to 5w-40 liqui moly, but mobil 0w40 is so convenient. I burn a quart 3000-5000 miles depending on my driving.

finlandm5f10 · 09-27-2017, 02:19 PM

Redline 5w40 and cold season 5w30 best oil you can buy.

AWF10M5 · 09-27-2017, 04:04 PM

At 2k miles on the 0w-40 Mobil 1 oil stick is reading 4/5 so burned a little bit. Mix of driving mostly highway some aggressive.

Will do full oil change this weekend and now switch to 5w-40 liqul moly.

Same here with Total 5w 40. Highly recommended to me by a top shop
