I know normal Castrol 10W-30 is what your supposed to put in, but would synthetic perhaps be better for it in the summeR?

providing it doesn't leak or burn oil - synthetic would be better year round. Especially winter, easier starts when cold.

i used to run FUll synthetic mobil 1 0w40 on my E36 328is and it was the best oil I ever used for that car, made the car feel a ALL lot better

thanks man I guess ill give it a try, because my car burns no oil what so ever, and I am totally trying to get the best performance out of it.
