oil weight for 1987 325is
Hi,
I need to add oil to my 1987 325is (about 119K miles).
What weight should I use. (I'm in SF -- moderate climate).
Thanks |

15w50, 20w50, 10w40. I'd personally go for a 50 weight.

20w50. If you have any leaks the weight is so heavy your car stops leaking almost completely. Dont go for the 15w30 unless your cars in top shape beucase your just gona piss right through that stuff if your engine leaks. |
