Hey guys i just bought another e30. its a 89 325i. just wanted to know what kind of motor oil you guys use. When i bought my eta my mechanic told me to use 15-40 pens oil (non synthetic) and it has been working great for me.

Mobil 1 full synthetic 10W30 in the M20 powered e30 and the 750iL
No, it doesn't leak or use any oil. -
20-50 dino oil or Royal Purple. 15-50 synthetic Mobil1. depends on my mood. the royal purple was really nice in the beginning, but after about 2k miles it looks like crap...IG: @Baye30

keep it coming guys. do you still change the oil every 3000 when you use synthetic oil?Comment

Most people run 15-50 synthetic (much better than mineral oil shit). I really think its a bit heavy in winter, makes the car start harder in the morning when its 20 or less, but i just deal with it. In summer its good as gold. Castrol makes a 5w-50 that people seem to like.--WillComment

mobile 1 10w-30. I tried some 20-50 once and it was waaaay too heavy - big loss in power, car hated starting up when cold (and I mean 50 degrees cold, not 20). will probably mix in 2 quarts of mobile 1 15w-50 during the summer though.Comment

My M30 powered cars love 20w50. Anything lighter just doesn't feel "right" to me...'88 528e /// '88 M5 /// '89 951 /// '98 E430 /// '02 M5Comment

Valvoline VR racing oil in 20w50. But my car sits all winter so its no big deal.The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money. -Alexis de TocquevilleOriginally posted by Fusion
