BizarreBleak Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 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.

RosaStyle Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Altering the oil brand will not eliminate oil consumption; examine components such as the CCV for blockages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizarreBleak Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Authorce Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MundeDas Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizarreBleak Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MundeDas Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago In that scenario, set the maximum interval between oil changes to 6000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
