Why go with the 5-30 vs the 0-20??
New M340i owner 👍🏻
It is a big debate, but the main two reasons are 0w20 is so thin it burns off. So some people have oil consumption issues, and switching to 5w30 will fix this.
Second is your area and climate. Living in hot climates of course plays into the issue above.
Make sure you join the M340i group on Facebook. You will find lots of discussions on this plus oil lab results from Blackstone. Actually showing less wear when using 5w30 vs the oem 0w20.
Great vid! I'm also kinda OCD myself. Not saying I can't trust shops out there, but I just trust myself more in certain senses lol.
Something you may want to know tho - Molygen oil already has Ceratec additives inside of it; adding Ceratec while using Molygen may throw off the balance of the amount of Ceratec. Liqui Moly recommends using other lines of their oil (i.e. Top Tec) while using Ceratec. But it'll be fine using Molygen in between changes till the next time you need to "refresh" Ceratec.
I 100% agree with what you are saying. It's definitely nice knowing exactly what was done and how it was done.
As for the Molygen and Ceratec, I am definitely going to look into that. Thank you for making me aware!
Just got used to running it because the tuner for my RS sold it as part of an oil change kit, which used LM Molygen too.
Great video! I am planning on doing my oil change soon, can you please drop the link for that exact car ramp?
Thank you!
I believe these are just some rinho ramps I got from Walmart years ago. They work well for me as my driveway is angled up to my garage.
Race ramps would be better for these lower cars.
