I need to get some oil for my 540i v8 - I went out and got some 0w-30 that conforms to the BMW-Longlife 1 spec. Question is do I need 0w-30 on a 180,000 mile engine or should I get something else?
Thanks.
Matt82 said:sorry to sound dumb but why would a car need different oil after it has passed 80,000 miles.
whats different about the oil, does anyone know?
