modena87 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2008 (edited) Hi everyone, I have an E46 M3 2002 6spd, and I need to change the oils pretty soon (engine, transmission, etc) I've been to BigBoysToys recently and Castrol was displaying Edge Sport line. Have you guys heard anything about this product line? Just wondering if should just get the normal stuff BTW, how do you change the "Ride" profile??

CamB 48 Report post Posted November 18, 2008 There is a reasonable chance that the correct Castrol Edge 10W60 product is the same as the BMW Castrol TWS oil they recommend: http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=236372 Or you can do what I did and google "castrol tws bmw e46 m3" and find heaps of discussion - warning, it will do your head in. So many different views... so few experts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CamB 48 Report post Posted November 18, 2008 Castrol TWSmotorsport 5W60 is the only oil you can use in that M3 Use anything else at your own peril While I would agree and never suggest anything else unless you verify it is exactly the same (and even if it is, its unlikely to be cheaper anyway).... I'd like to add that, bar the last oil change (ie since I bought it, haha), my M3 engine has had services by BMW agents only - every stamp in the book. It hasn't stopped the VANOS from being growly after 110k km (10 BMW services) - apparently worn VANOS gears. I'm not too stressed by it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
