Hi there,
I have a BMW 316i, with 106,000 on the clock.
I need to top up the engine oil, although it only had oil put in during its last service in February, it appears to have run out - long running problem.
What is the best oil to use?
I do think I have a leak of some sort because it seems to run out of oil, but I cant see any on the floor once the cars moved- if anyone has any suggestions they'd be gratefully recieved!
Many thanks
Jennifer

It must be "Burning" it then !!
It's not advised, but with older engines I tend to put "Thicker" oil in... This usually slows down the inevitable...
I put Diesel engine oil in a petrol engine as it has tougher qualities !
