Oil what is the best oil to use

There are a lot of good oils out there, the correct oil is 5w30.
castrol oil,valvoline,any auto parts oil will do the job,good day.

i always check my oil first thing in the morning,thay way the cars set overnight and all oil has drained into the oil pan,it's just a habit.but thats the best way to get an exact reading.thank you for choosing fixya.com

Bosch plugs are the best for the bmw's. Oil is up to how much money u want to spend. If you go with the best you have to keep using the best. I run synthic oil in my vehicles. It breaks down alot slower.

A synthetic oil like Mobil1 is the BEST, but on a truck that old, it may not be the best choice. Any oil rated SM should be OK, use a name brand 5W30, Shell, Mobil, Castrol, ect.

5W 30 Synthetic Blend type of oil si the best one for your car.

well synthetic is with out a doubt the best,,,,ive seen car run regular oil for 50k miles and it was changed every 3000 miles and the inside of the engines were clean but brown inside from sludge and build up,ive seen the same thing where oil was changed every 6000 with reg oil and the engines are black inside,,and ive seen engine that run synthetic oil and they look almost new inside,the difference is clear that syn oil is far better,,but just remember your engine stays cleaner with syn oil but it does so because the oil picks up more dirt and lubricates better,,,so dont forget to change the oil filter cause now even more dirt will be getting trapped in it,beacuse of the better cleaning properties of the syn oil,,,,almost any syn oil is good,but MOBIL 1,AMSOIL are the best,,,,,they cost more but well worth it due to lack of engine repairs,,,i would still change oil every 4000 or so
