People like you are why there are so few nice E30's around.

With 200+k on the motor, it isn't going to make a difference what brand oil you use.
Seeing as you were using 20w50 non-synth in a New york winter, your motor is probably already trash.

Its an E21 and my motor IS already trash. 223k on a non-rebuilt engine of shady maintnance before i bought it does not bode well for bearings/rings- and thus, oil pressure.. And... "Mystikal"... in case you havent heard, BMW engines are made to take heavy wt. oil (i.e 20w-50) and the M10 in no exception. Granted, I had changed the oil in the fall when the weather was still warm enough to run that wt. oil... and because of a med. cndt. was unable to drive the car again untill mid (abnormally cold) winter. Otherwise, the 20w-50 would have been outta there. And believe me, the undriveablility was due mostly the battery's lifeless condition, as when the car was jumped, it started as it always has and ran strong.
Im not ass enough to leave that thick oil in there for an extended amount of time, so after the first incident it was gone. Im only 70 miles north of the city, so weather as cold as last winter was quite rare.
It still is a very tough motor and I doubt after the long life its had, a few attempts to start it with thick oil will be its downfall... you all should be able to see the big picture better than that.... comon.

which is thicker oils with a higher number or oils with a lower number
50 of course being high and say 30 being lowYour signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.
