Which engine and gearbox oil....
Right had a quick search and nothing came up so if its been covered before my bad.
Doing a service on my car (1.4) ordering all the things soon and instead of just choosing oil makes as I please wanted to see what oil on here reccommend for both the engine and also the gearbox. Also part synthetic or full?
Also spoke to a mate the other night who was talking to some bmw expert/nerd about his e36 beemer and the guy said as engines wear you can actually change the watt of the oil a bit as it can actually help them as obviously things wear and arent as tight. What are people opinions on this?
Cheers
