10K or 5K ?

03-06-2013, 04:00 PM

Hello guys,
It's time for some maintenance and changing oils .....etc.
last time I used 5000 KM engine oil, but I heard that it doesn't matter whether 5000 or 10000!
so my question is which one is better for the E46? in terms of engine life and smoothness (both are the same recommended oils in the car's manual)

I believe both are fine as long as you change just before its due, maybe the 10k is cheaper on the long run...

this is as far as i understand (correct me if i am wrong) a public forum, where people share ideas on how to make the bmw lifestyle better and more pleasurable and enjoyable..where we benefit from others mistakes and learn from our own ,share experiences..all in a common goal to make everything and everyone better, not the opposite.. do i need to remind everyone of all the laughs we had and how many times we shared food and shisha together..how many times we all stayed up late to fix anothers friend (brother) issues?? This is what makes a community, us, people..a common understanding and fellowship..respect
