2009 328i oil change. What oil to use?
What am I supposed to run for oil in my 2009 BMW 328i? Every single oil change kit includes the "BMW Twin Power Turbo" oil.

Lots of opinions on what to run.
Can't go wrong with a BMW LL-01 certified oil. BMW 5w30 and Castrol 0w40 are both great choices.

How come we never talk about oil on this forum?
Bravo to the OP for bring up such a neglected topic! Now, back to our regular discussion on blinker-gear maintenance...
