The neverending BMW Oil debate

hakari · 04-19-2024, 05:28 AM

Hi guys. I've read some posts about what oil to use but I am still not sure about what to choose.

I own a BMW G20 330I xDrive 2021. I want to do the oil change and people are fighting between 0w-30 and 5w-30. Also, the original oil or something else. Before reading other poeple's opinions I was about to go for RAVENOL SSO SAE 0W-30. In my opinion from what I have used so far and from other people's opinions Ravenol is one of the best oil you can use for your car.

What is your opinion. What oil are you using for your 330I and would advise others to use?

Have a great day and weekend

Yes the never-ending oil change posts. There's a ton of similar threads with the same question - have you searched/had a look?

As for 5w30 vs 0w30 that doesn't matter nearly as much as the rating standard recommended for your car. But if you're not sure and want to have peace of mind go with what the manual calls for. You're only opening up a thread for even more debate no different than the other thread you are referring to.

I Personally use Motul 5W30 LL01FE (mid OCIs)
