Don't think it will be too thin based on the cst specs.

With turbo engine good to use a little thicker oil like 5W/40 or 10W/50.

Re: Engine oil to be use for F10
Use the specs to gauge better. Light 5w40 and heavy 5W30 can overlap in viscosity.
IMHO - Cst should be around ~12.2 @100c (heavier end of 5w30) for current engines. I think its better thinner @40c so during startup it flows faster e.g 70-75@40c .......... personally I use something at 13.5@100c (0w40) and it did help keep the engine slightly cooler (3-4 degrees) in certain traffic situations.

sorry guys....not famili with this. I recall in my previous E60 523i the guy at BVO used a thicker type of oil, suposedly better for the engine but i found it mkes the engine rev quite 'heavy' and feel gear change not so smooth. I then switched to a thinner type of engine oil and it was very good and ever since stick to it.
changed to f10 520 recently. I am a bit confused wiht all these comments about 0W or 5w or 30 or 40.Can someone explain?
also, wouldn't PML know what's the best engine oil to use?

Motor Oil 101 - Bob is the Oil Guy
instead of totally relying on the "professional", its always good to have a little knowledge and decide for yourself.
end of the day, its always good to know more about the machine your operating on daily.

Re: Engine oil to be use for F10
Both are unsuitable. HTHS and cst@100c too low.
Try Castrol edge 0w-30 European formula.
Hearsay Pennzoil ultra is good.

Re: Engine oil to be use for F10
Anyone buy from mxtrading?
So it's just castrol edge right? I check castrol singapore website they do not have castrol edge with titanium and syntec. Any idea where these 2 products are from?
Also the website do not have 0-30 on their castrol edge list. Where can I get the 0-30?
Tks...
