A Adam D Senior member Langdon Hills, Essex Mar 10, 2013 #4 Castrol Edge FST 10W-60 for M engines or Castrol TWS 10W-60 is what your looking for. Beward of normal Edge 10W-60 which doesnt say that it is suitable for M engines on the bottle as they made so many different versions at one time.

G goon Senior member Swansea Mar 16, 2013 #9 Only topped mine up once in over a year of ownership and then not by much,these are great engines.
A Adam D Senior member Langdon Hills, Essex Mar 17, 2013 #10 Also very pleasantly surprised that the S54 seems to use very little oil, I have never had to top if off between oil changes. My 3.0 M54 Z4 liked to drink the stuff however.
