What is the engine in you GT: B48B20

Oil: Castrol Magnatec 5w30
Additive: None
Other things to consider? (Filter brand, mods, etc) Mahle oil filter.
Brief why this oil?:
For oil, I use this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01H3UKXDS/
It is 5w30 and has the ACEA A3/B4 rating which BMW recommends.
For oil filter, I use Mahle. The OEM BMW filters have a design flaw where one of the end caps can unseat from the internal cage housing and allow the paper filter to spin and collapse causing engine failure. It's a known fault in both BMW and Toyota (which uses the B48/B58 engines). There's a few videos on YT which document the problem. |
Mine is 2017 as well
Thank you for that
I did not know this issue with the OEM filter.
I’ll take this into consideration
For the oil, since you are using the Castrol magnatec, this is why you don’t add additive I assume, right? Or is there more to that to why do not pour some extra juice to the mix?
