I've been using Mobil 1 0w-40 in it since I bought it with 53,000 miles. It now has 104,000. The car takes 6.9 quarts for an oil change, and I always use Wix filters. I change routinely at about 7,000 miles even though BMW recommends 15,000 which I think is crazy.
Thinking about switching to Mobil 1 5w-30 but it doesn't meet BMW's Longlife requirements like the 0w-40.
Anybody see a problem with this? I've heard of other BMW guys using the 5W-30 with no issues. TIA.
