Toyota Celica 1.8 VVTI, Lagoon Blue, Air Con, 16" Standard alloys with Kuhmo KU31, EBC Green Stuff
I use 0w40 Mobil gold and have done 35K km on the clock as far ,oil and filter changed every year.Both air and oil filters are genuine BMW parts
Comments on Mobil Gold oil 0w40: No improvement in terms of Noise, smoothness, performance or consumption = No good!
I think if u change your oil every 10K or once a year, u shouldn't bother to use those "high mileage" engine oil.

Go by the BMW handbook and change oil when the iDrive tells you.
Use only genuine filters.
I have Shell oil now.
I suppose the Mobil1 is the best one.

Is E60 sharing oil between engine and transmission? I recall some days ago BMW promoted they use just one oil for both on 7er.
