2006 320d oil change

[Bennit]

1. Is brand really important or I must just concentrate on rating of the oil? I see plenty guys swear on Liquid Moly.
2. How many liters of oil should I buy?
3. Should I do a flush?

BMW is using Shell oils, so get Shell Helix Ultra or HX7

I used Liquid Moly.
Very happy with it. The oil is green, so I checked it every month to see how long it will stay green. Took just over 5k kms to turn dark

1. As long as it is a good brand, use what you prefer. Reading up can help you make a decision
2. check your owners manual to be 100% sure
3. not neccessary unless you missed a service or there is some issue with very thick oil or sludge.

I would take up the BMW special, around R1k for the 4cyl diesel, including oil, oil filter and labour.

Does anyone know if the special is still on?

Buying 5.5L of HX7 plus a OEM oil filter will cost you R650 to R750 last time I checked. Then you still have to DIY and dispose of the oil in a safe manner.

Im all for DIY, but daaaaang, R1000 is a good price.

I went to BMW Zambezi Auto in Pretoria to ask about the Special and they quoted me R1400 for my E90 320d.

Supposed to be R 1090.00 for a 4 pot diesel... check another dealer

I feel like punching myself. 4 weeks ago I sold 5L of helix HX7 for half the price.
