What engine oil do you use?
I am going to be doing a oil change myself on my 3.0si next weekend. I was wondering what the most popular engine oils are that people use.
I will be keeping a running total of each response, which ever has the most, that's the one I'll buy. So, everyone let me know what its gonna be! Thanks! |

I have a dumb question. I was wondering if there was a how to article on changing oil for my 3.0si. I know how to change oil on a car, I assure you that. I was just trying to get the specs, ex. what type of synthetic oil, how many quarts to use and so on and so on. Thanks. |

Your N52 powered Z4 3.0Si has an oil capacity with oil filter of 6.5 liters (6.87 qts). Oil type as recommended by BMW NA: http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...ngineOils.aspx The oil filter cap and the oil drain plug are torqued to 25N*m You'll need a 86mm/16 flute Cup, Oil Filter wrench, 3/8 in. drive, to remove the oil filter cannister cap.
