oil for my e38

Recommended Posts

hey guys about to do an oil change on my 740i

its being driven for the most part relatively short distances and being taupo heading into winter will unfortunantly be running cold for much of the time

its done just over 200kms

starting to get a slight tappet rattle from a couple of lifters

been recommended penrite SYN15w50

any other ideas

also when i do manage to drive longish distances i drive it pretty hard so needs good performance protection and good cold start protection

To eliminate the noise go with 15w40, usually they would take 0w30

BMW recommends Castrol ;)

yea thats what i thought

the 15w50 would be close enough to 15w40 and abit better under load

at about $70 per 5l bottle its not cheap prob spend nearly $200 for fuel air oil filters and oil but at least it will be done right
