That’s good to hear. 0w30 will work fine too. Mine came with that from the factory and I used it on the first few oil changes then changed to 5w30, so sticking with that now.
Great video Reg, do you have any plans to map the m140? Would be interested to see a video on your thoughts on tuning and the different stages Cheers, Charlie
@@roadreg1820 it’s not my intention to say anything bad about Millers oil. But if you ask each oil supplier/manufacturer say will tell you something similar “this/my product is the best” As a customer you can only check specification and certain industry standards, if this oil has this release. That’s why I asked for LSPI protection: - if milled thinks this is needed for B58 - and if Miller has some release for their B58 oil
I change mine every 6000 miles with mixed driving. I use whichever brand of 5w30 that I can get the best deal on, but I generally get ones which are approved to VAG 504.00/507.00 along with the BMW LL-04 as the VAG specs are much higher. I firmly believe that a cheaper oil changed more often is better than a more expensive one changed at the manufacturers recommended intervals, providing that they both meet the correct specs. Mann or Genuine filters for me, some of them have a habit of falling apart when the filter cap is removed to change it, but these two seem to be the best IMO.
@@roadreg1820 thanks. One more question can you tell me why when i changed my oil i always buy 7 liters, but when i fill the car with “just” 6 liters my car showing me that i have oil on max. Am i safe to put the next 0,5 liters?
@@roadreg1820 thank you. So when my car show she is full when i put just 6 liters. I need to put next 0.5 liters. Because i was affraid if my car will be overfill with oil. lol 😆
You can use 0w20, but the reason that’s accepted is for efficiency. Due to low resistance. I would strongly advise against using that oil, unless you live in a cold country where you need the oil to flow as quickly as possible.
@@alanreynolds2125 Ah, that’s good then! That’s what was in my M140i when I bought it. I did the first service with 0w30 then I moved to 5w30 and have been using that ever since. 0w30 is perfect for winter.
I bought a 140i new 5 years ago. Oil changed once per year every 7k miles. Only ever used Castrol Edge 0w/30. Never had a problem.

Nice one Reg, thanks for sharing.

Thank you! Not currently, but it’s something I have considered. This is something I’ll do a video on actually. Thank you 😊
@@roadreg1820 look forward to it , I can recommend morebhp in Crewe for a custom tune
Does this Milller Oil has LSPI protection (API SN+ or
API SP) and do you think it’s important for
b58 ?
Not sure tbh. Millers themselves recommended this oil for the B58 though. It’s probably the best you can get for this engine.

Nice video! I change mine every 10-15k kms bmw.

@@AGM240i definitely 6.5 litres for the B58. 😁
