Coolant & Oil Recommendation

[portculisz4]

I understand the coolant used must be specific for aluminium engines (M54B25) and hence must be nitrite and phosphate free. I have seen Mannol 4211 G11 (Blue) advertised at a very realistic price, has anyone any experience of this product. Their 30W5 (ACEA A3) Fully Synth. Oil also looks very price competitive, again anyone any experience ??

I've been using Comma G48 Xstream in my Z4 for the 6 years I've owned it. BMW approved.

I have used Mannol Auto Transmission oil in LandRovers in the past without any issues and would buy it again but I've no knowledge of their engine oils.

Use G48 as well
Although I buy concentrate, and if you're doing the same use de-ionised water.

Use G48 as well

Same here, just done my coolant pump and thermostat.
£20.79 for 5 litres of concentrate from Amazon.

Millers Nanodrive from https://www.opieoils.co.uk/ in the car for the past 6 years. Never had to top it up.

Millers Performance going in this month as it's replaced Nanodrive

Millers Performance going in this month as it's replaced Nanodrive

It is proving popular this new range, it is like a cross between the old EE Nanodrive and their CFS performance oil.
