Hey everyone,
My father has a 2002 BMW 330Ci that he bought new a few years back. He only drives the car for fun, and it isn't his daily driver. Consequently, the car to date only has about 5000 miles on it! It has only had one oil change to date, shortly after 2000 miles, using the BMW 5w30.
Anyhow, my question is regarding what oil should be used next. The UOA's with the BMW 5w30 (it's castrol right?) seem to be fairly good, but we're always looking for an improvement. Any suggestions? I was also wondering if anyone knows where I can find a list of oils that are BMW approved. I've looked around, but have been unable to find one.
Just wanted to say that this is one of the best forums on the internet. Besides being a wealth of knowledge, I've never experienced the genuine helpfulness and friendliness that I have on the forum anywhere else on the internet! A big shout goes out to all of you for that!
Thanks!
Mike
