I think there's something wrong with my turbos.

You should try MOTUL 10/40 300V this will solve your oil usage issue your engine should not use more than 500mil in 5000km. if its has mods it could use up to a 1ltr depends how you drive your engine.

All of you should change the oil and filter every 5000km PLEASE

mcmn · 12-08-2011, 02:19 AM

guys - where's some linkage to get the oil filter kits? I'm going to do mine again soon - I've got about 500kms before I've clocked 5,000kms since last change.

We should go half's in a ten back from the US Paul.

Is Castrol EDGE 0W40 LL-01 better than the factory 5W30 LL-01?

Eddie135 · 12-08-2011, 04:26 PM

My car is still factory stock without tune apart from some basic mods.
I change it every 7500kms, is it good enough?

Thanks.

JB4-335 · 12-08-2011, 05:15 PM

Either Mobile 1 or Castrol's new Titanium 0W 40 IMHO.

Eddie135 · 12-08-2011, 05:19 PM

Okay, thanks all.

I'll do it. I think I can get 10 genuine BMW oil filters from getbmwparts for about $10each then it's about $35 to ship but don't quote me. Let me know if you happen to find a better deal.

Looks like they are on special

JB4-335 · 12-09-2011, 04:28 AM

At $695 each I may even get myself a spare set of OEM turbos.

mcmn · 12-09-2011, 04:29 AM

They would be a bitch to fit. you'd need to drop the engine for sure.

That's when your friendship will come in handy Paul.

bmroxm5 has been doing my oil changes for me - he's stocking on filters and oil (or can bring your own).

Smiley1175 · 12-09-2011, 04:12 PM

Anyone in Vic wanna go halves on a 10 pack of oil filters. As per the link above, delivered (to one address in Melbourne) it'll be $12.5 per filter, quite a saving compared to buying local.

I don't need 10!

Where can I get the oil from - not on their website...

My turbos seem to be fine, albeit still noisy
