What oil to use on a 2014 435i?

Jrd1097 · 07-29-2019, 06:31 PM

Anyone know what type of oil I should be putting on it? Under the hood it just says bmw high performance synthetic oil

I'd start with BMW high performance synthetic oil.

Then I'd branch out to all the crazy stuff later.

I use the OEM BMW oil kit from FCP Euro.

Mobil 1 euro, pennzoil plat euro, Castrol euro. Someone will tell you about special oil... if your going to DD you don't need those. You just need to replace them when the car calls for oil change.
