 Topic: Oil Question ?????Posted: 27-July-2008 at 21:22 |
|
Just checked my oil in the E46 ( paranoid after last week
 )& it needs a spot or two , the question is when it was serviced by the garage before i got it did they use "Fully Synthetic " or " Semi "  I have a gallon of fully synthetic in the garage . Will whatever is in there mix with my oil ???

Apparantly if you take a bit of oil off your stick and burn it fully syn will smell like popcorn
I think its ok to top up with fully Syn |

i would contact the garage if possible to see what type they used, i think semi and fully can mix no problem, but i would check the weight etc. whether 5/40 or 5/30 etc
 hope this helps, or just do another oil and filter change.

I think it will work but hopefully the boys at the garage will know what they put in. i used to use mobil 1 on my 325, ran like a charm!! i have to use castrol 10 60 on the m3 though. |
