For optimal performance and protection, it's recommended to use a high-quality synthetic oil with a viscosity grade of 5W-40 or 5W-50. Look for a brand that meets BMW LL-01 specifications.

I have been using Castrol EDGE 5W-40 in my BMW M6 for years and have had no issues with engine performance. The key is to stick with a reputable brand and change the oil regularly.

I personally use Motul 8100 X-cess 5W-40 in my BMW M6 and have noticed improved engine performance and quieter operation. It's important to use an oil that meets the required specifications for your vehicle.
