rtpitt Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 OK, I tried a search with little results. I'm new here (and new to BMW). What is the consensus on engine oil types? I have yet to pick up my new bike so I haven't looked at a manual yet although I did buy a service manual CD that only referred to BMW oil(is it dino, semi or full syn?). In my KTM's we run full synthetic from new. When I ran Japanese dirt bikes it was dino oil for break in and full or semi syn after. Any advice would be appreciated. Link to comment
bimmers Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 you will find a mass of oil related threads, Generally I guess the consensus is to run Dino until 10 or 20k and then synthetic htereafter. It stops eating oil at that point. h Link to comment
Crazy_Canuck Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 The Dealer told me that I could go Synthetic after 6000 Miles but I will probably wait till my 12000 Mile service. Link to comment
BUSTED Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I changed one oilhead to Mobil 1 at 5k and the other one at 965 miles. No problems with either bike. Sorry, I forgot I was reading the Hexheads! Link to comment
