I put Mobil 1 in mine. As far as I'm concerned the best oil you can buy off the shelf. Costco sell it for £24 for 4L.

FUCHS Titan SuperSyn is the BMW OEM Preference. It's a bit expensive these days, I used to pick it up from G&S for £16 for 5L.

I'm about to change the oil and wondered with the bmw vanos would 5w 30 or 5w 40 fully synthetic be better?

Still no answer to the above then. I am trying to find out the best/correct BMW M62 Oil choice. It seems 10w40 is correct but 5w30 is Ok. Which brand is BMW or Land Rover recommended for this engine?
