Hi guys.
I need some expert opinion.
I drove about 3700 miles (6000 km) since my last oil change to BMW fully synthetic 5-w30 and had to add about a little over a liter of oil so far.
I hear that a little oil consumption is normal but what exactly is a reasonable amount and what are the ways to reduce it?
I have a 2003 320i with about 69 500 original miles (112 000 km).
I'm also wondering in what scenario would I use 5w-40? Winter is coming up fast and it gets very cold here. Would I benefit of a slightly thicker oil for colder times?
Thanks! :thumbsup:
