Hi

That's a fairly basic oil and could be the reason it's a bit noisy. I think someone else once asked me a similar question about the S-type V6 and eventually they went for a 5w-40 which helped to quieten things.

Outof those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS,Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess,Millers XFS, Shell Helix, Fuchs Supersyn and Mobil Super 3000 aregood, cheaper alternatives.

Cheers

These guys are very good indeed. Give them all the information and follow their advice. I'm currently using Shell Helix Ultra 5w/40 in my 528i under their guidance and it works very well indeed. BMW suggests 5w/30 but I have not noticed any downturn in performance or economy with a slightly heavier 5w/40. Prices are good, too. Plus, you'll also get a discount for being a Torque Cars member.
