Oil

Apologies as I know there are many oil threads but my head is pickled reading them, i have had my 2013 comp pack for around six weeks now. It has just asked for 1 litre of oil after 1400 miles, it was full when i got her. I have decided not to pay the BMW dealer prices just to show on the idrive. I will buy a service book and supply my own oil to be serviced by my local mechanic, i will service every 6k and have the book stamped and keep the receipt for the oil used for the records. I know the car currently has shell 0W-30 but at 53k do you think it would benefit using a slightly thicker oil? I have read this can also help the consumption. Any help greatly appreciated. Car is awesome by the way!! Well apart from my creaking driver seat!!
