Please provide a recommendation for oil.

F31 Petrol 320i M 2018 with 63,000 miles

Despite the advancing age of my vehicle, I cherish it and have no plans to replace it.

It has not consumed oil previously, yet it has utilised a litre in the three months following the last oil change. Performed by a BMW expert rather than an authorised dealership.

I will replenish it for the rest of the service period, but could someone suggest the highest quality oil for the subsequent change, irrespective of price.

I appreciate everyone. A slight complaint directed at BMW. Could we obtain a dipstick, please? Electronic measurement is satisfactory until doubts arise regarding the sensor's reliability.

Altering the oil brand will not eliminate oil consumption; examine components such as the CCV for blockages.

[BizarreBleak]

You could be correct, yet there is no evidence suggesting a CCV issue. The vehicle operates as anticipated.

I shall persist in observing it. It has consumed one litre over a span of three months or 3,000 miles. That adheres to BMW's regulations, so I am not alarmed. The service might merely be a happenstance, yet I have an aversion to happenstances!

I possess an identical engine that has accumulated 35,000 miles. I perform my own oil changes, thus I am fully aware of the quantity utilised.
I performed an oil change a few weeks prior, and when I replenished the used oil into the vacant 5L Castrol Edge 5w30 container, it indicated less than 5L, whereas during the last oil service, I filled it to the maximum of 5.25L.
I travelled approximately 3,500 miles over a span of 10 months between oil changes, consuming around 0.5 litres. I would only have slight concerns if 1L was consumed every 1,000 miles. How can you ascertain whether the garage dispensed 5L or 5.25L? I primarily undertake brief excursions, accumulating approximately 4,000 miles over the course of a year.

It is uncertain whether the B48 engine provides an uncomplicated method to service the CCV, as it may be integrated into the entire engine cover.

Kindly be aware that this response was not endorsed by Castrol Edge 5w30... I simply prefer the gold package of Castrol Edge.

Service based on BMW specifications/On-board Computer or a maximum of 10,000 miles?

Are you aware of the grade of oil utilised by the "specialist"? 0-20 or 5-30?

I personally purchase Castrol Edge 5-30LL from Costco, available in 5-liter containers for £36 or £28 during promotional sales.

[BizarreBleak]

Indeed, I conducted research today and it appears to be a CCV problem. I undertake an excessive number of brief excursions and insufficient lengthy journeys.

In that scenario, set the maximum interval between oil changes to 6000.
