It got itself some Rotella T6 5-40 oil. Super high zinc content so it should be good until I get a chance to do the bearings in it (month or 2)

2000, 163k, bone stock mechanically. In love with it. Been chasing down lots of stupid things like I had to on my 530i (Vacuum and PCV lines) and fixing that. It runs so much better now and it substantially faster than when I bought it a week ago. I guess having a MAF covered in oil and a non-functioning PCV system will do that.
