Oil for 2.3i

Post by Harvey669 » Thu May 31, 2018 5:06 pm

Evening,

So a warning light came on the dash indicating the Z4 needed a 1 litre up of oil. The meter shows it’s sat just at the miminam level.

On researching google it’s not very clear as to what oil I should get to top it up. Does anything know what oil to buy for a E89 2009 plate 2.3i Sdrive or is it a main dealer trip?

Regards

Kris

5W30 fully synthetic. Many people have their own brand recommendations but when I had a 23i I used Mobil 1 5W30 ESP.
