what oil to use for N55? Mobil1 5W-30 OR 0W40
my car needs an oil change soon, I'm going to change the oil by myself., I decided to put mobil1 oil in my engine. My question is what kind of mobil1 oil should I use for my 335i N55 engine? 5W-30 or 0W-40? A guy at my local BMW dealer part department told me to use 5W-30 because it's not that cold in socal area.

M1 5w30 is not ll01 approved, while 0w40 is and is therefore a better match. Castrol euro formula and BMW oem oil are similarly priced and also carry appropriate spec and weights.
