Hi,

I have 1990 318is, it's done approximately 190,000miles and i'm planning a complete rebuild in the near future. What oil should I use, it is running a little rich me thinks...I drive it everyday to and from work and I do like driving it hard too, having said that it don't really feel that much slower to when I first got it, i've had it 10 years now. Also my brothers 318is has 126k is absolutely mint, sounds lovely, but mine still feels quicker??

Any advice would be appreciated.
Pal

Hi

Use the Silkolene PRO S 5w-40

see this thread http://www.e30zone.co.uk/modules.php?na ... pic&t=1845

Its a fully synthetic ester oil, my 318iS runs great on the stuff!
