I have a 2011 335is on a small tune with downpipes. Pushing ~14 PSI on the turbos compared to stock that is 8.
I always had in mind that running thicker oil (0W-40) was better for performance driving since the engines in my car are more sporty than a normal commuter car, but now that winter is coming and it's getting colder I think it's causing really slow warm up time. Oil barely hits operating temp if I'm on the highway or takes a good 15 to 20 minutes to heat up fully.
Next oil change I am unsure if I should put in some 0w-30? From searching it seems 0W-30 would be more normal oil and to put 0W-40 once you start consuming a lot of oil or for higher millage cars, for the 335s
Or will it make barely a difference? I am really unsure and looking for input. Or will switching it up barely do a difference?
