bros, what abt the Grade of Oil ? for a E36, considering it being a COE car, shld juz fully synthetic or mineral ? and wat grade are we looking at ? w40 ?? w60 ?

improve fc? Please, is this serious?

if you keep your engine in good condition and change oil frequesntly it may help to maintain fc, not improve it. Or maybe it will, by 0.00001 litres per tank

Use torco, some of the best modded cars on this forum use torco and have done for years.

Jason3s,

The royal purple you are using, does it improve your FC?

Ain't going to help FC. You stand better chance changing your plugs...

i've tried using thinner oils for my other rides.. and i do experiecne a save in petrol.. probably it's in my mind, but some mechanics selling oil told me that thinner oil in fact might give u a better FC, but of cuz less engine protection....

Interested to noe E36 owners uses wat grade of oil ? 10w60? and full syn?
