Can anyone confirm the following?
Type of Oil: 0W-30
Amount: From what I've heard should be about 11-12 bottles worth?
Plan on getting this kit from ECS: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...50-slash-12kt/
Any help is appreciated!  |
Probably can't hurt to have receipts for genuine BMW oil if you have a warranty claim, but it's not required. That's pretty expensive oil. Just get an oil that meets the spec for your engine - LL01 or whatever it is. Your manual will identify the approved oil viscosities. I put Castrol European 5W-40 in my N63TU because it meets LL01 and costs about $35 for a 5-gallon jug. I'd also find out exactly how much oil you are supposed to use. I would think that is readily available info. But if not, I can look it up.
