how do you normally check your oil level?

You'll be using an M50 E34 sump, so it will need about 7 litres

Castrol is good..

I used to use Sikolene Pro S 10-50

Agip Racing 10w/60 is supposed to quiet up the engine more compared to the Castrol one.
I'm swaping to Agip for this season.

Does the brand of oil affect how the vanos opperates,ie is any particular brand quieter or better for vanos reliability ?
