    What kind of Oil is everyone using

    I have just been using Mobil One Synthetic 10w30. I use K&N oil filters and I want know which would be a better oil to use Mobil one european car formula which is 0w40 or the Mobil One performance car formula is 15w50, any suggestions?

      10w40 Castrol Syntec with the Lubromoly Additive and a proper Mahle oil filter.
      The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

          20w50. It mostly depends on the temperatures where you live. There's a fairly common chart on the web that shows you what oil to use to match your climate.

              or the one in your owners manual, that usually works.
