Hard driving over short distances will not help. Oil may need changes more often, filter changed and sump cleaned and attention paid to the dominant temperature…you may be experiencing a worn engine with other problems PCV valve fault etc…. By the way probaly hundreds if not thousands of V6 engines have been replaced when the problem is blocked hoses….. The decision of weather to use conventional or synthetic oil is really a difficult topic to disscuss.
Castrol seems to be the oil supplier for BMW Oil. There seems to be a chasm here with oils. Once upon a time Castor Oil was a great asset in racing cars. There are not just Synthetic OR non Synthetics and a part of the problem is pople not comprehending tha Synthetics ARE found leaking after replacing standard oils with pure Synthetics. That quasi recommendation is totally irrelevant without a raft of environmental and mechanical issues being considered.
Yes one could improve engine life with oil changes at kMs and in some condiitons that becomes essential. It makes no sense to say BMW recommend oil changes too long…the fact is they strike medium views on a whole range of environments and THEY control warranty not someone in these columns. The first port of coil for oil recommendations is the manufacturer of the vehicle. None ever died from oil problems of any type…. Te story of the results of his ignorance and his criminal incompetence and his lies would stagger you….
My first port of call for the oil needs in increasesof power, all co-ordinated and changes to bearing clearances etc was the vehicle maker. Name required. Mail will not be published required.

These motors really do well with 75w Just make sure it doesn't have LSD additive.. With 75w, k intervals between oil changes should be okay. Another bonus is that if your oil pump nut backs off youll have ample time to pull over safely with no internal damage because due to the viscosity of the higher weight oil it doesn't all pour out, it oozes out, so its sort of a good peace of mind as well.
I prefer 75W, but then again I live in a warm climate. Vegetable oil, or peanut oil if it's a warmer climate. Unless you're allergic to peanuts. Then maybe olive oil might be a good choice. Another perk with olive oil is if you get the munchies, grab some quality bread, pop the oil cap, dip it in, sprinkle some italian seasoning on it, and enjoy. I am gonna start using a? I thought I saw 10w somewhere, but I need to do a search.
