Hi all,
I am based in hot and humid Saudi Arabia and drive a BMW E60 530i 2004 with 200,000km. I had my engine head opened last year to replace various gaskets and clean the Chambers etc. Because there was a Gasket leakage.
Ever since I purchased the car, I have been using Liqui Moly 10w-40 for initially 2 years and 5w-40 since last year.
I went to Liqui Moly dealer yesterday to look into full synthetic 5w-30 Lm, and he did not recommend it for my car citing its age + mileage.
He also cited the high sulphur in Saudi petrol, and how the recommended Lm range is better suited, as per research of the German engineers. Could there be any truth to it, or is it [censored] c?
