What oil do you use?
My 325d needs a top up.
Searching on here showed that Mobil 1 is popular - stupid question, but is that just normal "Mobil 1" ie can it go in petrol and diesel engines? Cheers  |

While we're on the subject of Mobil 1, in France it costs half as much as it does in rip-off Britain, so it's worth grabbing some from the hypermarket if doing a booze cruise

I always top-up both the 320d and 335d with Castrol Edge Turbo Diesel 0W30.
