More videos on stuff like this. Best brake pads for street use, best tires for daily use, best aftermarket suspension for xx car. Best aftermarket exhaust, intake etc. whether you should go speed density or maf etc. dyno days with different parts to test the power gains. “Intakes, exhausts, etc. put it on the lift and tune to each part to see what parts have the most power capability etc.

So good to have real answers to oil questions, Stefan is a vertual encyclopedia of knowledge on this topic. What a pro. Thanks for bringing him along.

[projects]

Really useful video with an actual pro speaking! Im still only doing 5k max before oil change though.

[Streamlined]

Wow! I’ve been waiting 20 years for a video like this. Great info. The part about modern engines having tighter tolerances makes sense. An oil that is too thick won’t lubricate those tight spots.

[АндрейСпрогис-эс]

Thanks Bryan
This are the videos we want, cause there is not much straight forward info in the internet about this, everyone is telling something from their own experience but this is straight from the people who know what they are doing, and this will educate car owners so that cars get treated as they should and the next owner won’t buy a car that has problems with it.

[GreyMKJet]

I will remain using Liqui Moly simply because of how passionate they are of their products. He feeds you knowledge, not “buy my shit” bull shit. Especially when the question of what oil weight to use after doubling the power. He hit it on the nail when mentioning, at that point, you are modifying what engineers developed around 0w-20/30, So it’s trial and error from there! Liqui Moly best stuff around in my opinion!

[Lamelldiff]

Here in Europe oil interval is 18, 500miles for BMW. A lot of non car people does run by that. Personaly i replace at 6000miles max.

[nycshelbygt]

I was lucky enough to find a shop 5 minutes away that carries a full line of Liqui Moly Oils, Additives, and a selection of Mann/Mahle OE Oil Filter Kits. 45 minutes in and out. No more $400 oil changes from the BMW Dealership.
I have a BMW F30 335i N55 that used 5w30 and a E90 M3 S65 that uses 10w60...so double the Liqui Moly Goodness.

The most important ideas from this video is to stick with the stock BMW recommended oil weight, but adjust the oil change interval based on track use, climate, and mods. Keep a log of oil and other fluid changes in your cell phone. Also keep the oil grade, volume in liters/qtz, and oil filter part number. Also buy a supply of oil drain plugs...change every 4-5 oil changes. After a major engine mod like big turbos, Stage 2-3 Tune, or switching to E85/E90, get a Blackstone Oil Analysis at 2500 and 5000 miles. The more unburnt fuel in the oil, the more often you have to change the oil. Some engines have oil filter housing gasket failures, so you will see coolant in your oil. For my S65 brothers, rod bearings wear will put lead and copper fragments in your oil. Of course this means El Presidente, Bryan would need to change his oil every 1000-2000 miles on his BMW F30 N55.

I've seen engines from inside that ran oil for 20-25k km as BMW requested. Completely clogged up in grease. All mechanics I know say the same about oil - BMW's extended intervals are the main reason for the engine problems. They only care for the warranty period.

A long over due video. Very informative. I run Molygen on my F80 and am more than happy with it.

[armandodeleon]

Excellent video, not just teaching us how to gain power in our cars but how to protect them as well. Thumbs up 👍

[Tacoexplorer]

You should mentioned to him when the f80 m3 first came out bmw recommended 5w40 then switched to 5w30 and now 0w-30. So same engine but 3 different oil weights through the years?

[TommyLGarage]

This is such a refreshing video. Anyone who modifies their car should see this. And now I want to switch to Liquid Molly.

[kleitos]

....they only changed the recommend to 0W20 for fuel economy and CAFE requirements. Older vehicles with the B58 are just fine up to 5w40 (even in the manual)...

[nycshelbygt]

The BMW LongLife-01 (LL-01) oil spec is covered by Liqui Moly Special Tec LL 5w30 and Leichtlauf High Tech 5w-40. But SpecialTec LL 5w30 is typically not in stock, so I use the heavier Leichtlauf High Tech 5w-40. Super hot in SoCal in the summer @ 100-115deg F.

On Liqui Moly Oil Additives, CeraTec is very nice, but the color is like a Cafe Latte (brown). So it will turn your oil brown and freak out your Tech. Not sure if you should use it only for the last few hundred miles before an oil change, all the time, or every 2-3 oil changes. Might be better to just use it for a few track days in a row, and then change your oil.

The Jectron Fuel Injector Cleaner is like Chevron Tectron. Add it at one quarter to half a tank to keep the engine happy. It is twice or 4x as concentrated if you add it to half to a quarter of a tank of gas. Use it every 1000-2000 miles. No need to over do it unless you car idle is rough.

[BMWDIYGuy]

Well done yall, I love info like this!

[Slowspeed]

Bro I loved this video!!! this background view of the Beemers are dope too!!

[ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow]

THE PERFECT BMW OIL CHANGE: Fill with half 0W-20 and half 5W-30. That way you get an ideal 2.5W-25. = )

[lucaalux]

First comment.. from overseas! German oil for German cars.
Oil is literally engine life.

[ralphpeiris]

Change your oil every 5k. That is my rule for all my cars.
