E46 M3 Engine Oil
Both Ms will be due an oil change soon and I have used up my 20L drum of Castrol. I'm half thinking about switching brands if there is better quality out there. What owners are using other brands and any feedback and best place to buy? Thinking of the following:
- Millers (expensive but prob best suited for track use)
- Liqui Molloy
- Mobil 1
- Shell
-
Liqui Molloy, using it in ///Ms for years, never an issue . It's expensive though, afaik around same price as the Castrol. I might be able to get a half decent price on it if a few showed interest.

Liqui Moly is much better as crapy castrol, but on my own experience Mobil 1 is best !

If you take the M to the main dealer they'll put shell in it. I've checked the specs and it seems to be on par with castrol. I know a lot of people on here don't rate castrol, but for road use I think its fine. The good thing about shell is its only €50 for 6 litres!

Its mostly matketing !
If u like to see the engine and its internals look like it has huge mileage and very dirty its ok to use castrol as it "was" approved oil

Thanks guys! Looks like I'll be going down the Liqui-Molly or Mobil 1 route so ;)

I got 20L Castrol Oil from Oil Store in Blanch. Very sound people to deal and best price around.
@Valdas Why do you think Liqui Moly is better than Castrol?
-
Valdas, is that Mobil1 Extended Life or is there another oil that they make?
