Sorry to be such a noob. I tried the search function. I have a 2004 530i with ~45K miles. The light to add oil came on. I want to add oil until I drop the car off for an oil change (in a few days). What oil should I add in?

you should try searching, but I use the german made castrol 0w30 which is a bmw LL1 approved oil.
