For all my CA boyz.. What oil you guys using? Im planning to change my oil every 5k miles. Do you guys switch oil every summer/winter? My car stock By the way.

Stock car, regular oil changes…what’s wrong with the BMW 0W-30 TwinPower Turbo LL-01FE?

I used Liqui Moly on my last oil change. Probably switching to Pennzoil euro platinum on the next.

This is the new chosen oil I think.

Why do you use 5W-40 oil instead of the recommended 0W-30?

Free maintenance ended about 2 years ago for mine. In my current climate the higher weight makes sense especially I track from time to time.
