    Lightbulb 335i Oil + General Maintenance Query

    Bringing the 335i for a full service on Monday and just wondering the recommended oil is for them?

    The car is a 2007 with just under 80k miles on the clock so wondering is there anything else that should be changed now or as a precaution for anything? Not looking to spend unnecessary money, just want to make sure the car is tip top mechanically before the next step...

    Same here, I used castrol 5/30 and oem filters.
    €100 for the oil alone!!(2x4ltr) Roughly 6.5 litres to change.

    very oil sensitive that car to oil cause its used in the turbos also (assuming a N54 here). Use the BMW castrol for that car.

    Excatly why I ask, it is the N54 indeed.

    So if I ask for Fully Synthetic Castrol Magnatec 5w30, that will be the correct oil? Or are there variations that I should avoid? Please excuse my ignorance
