Oil change, partly filled with different oil?
Hello,
Maybe I'm worrying unnecessarily but I have a question and hope to find certainty here
Had oil changed
But I had been misinformed and had 1 liter too little when changing the oil
That means 5 liters of the original BMW Twin Power Turbo Longlife -04 oil
and afterwards it was noticed that 1 liter was too little, then another Longlife -04 oil from another manufacturer / brand was added to it, the complete filling quantity in the car
Now to the question: isn't it better for the engine to fill with oil from only one manufacturer rather than mixing it with another brand?
Can it cause subsequent engine problems or cause permanent engine damage?
This doesn’t matter until the viscosity is the same.
do not listen to the whole “freedom fetishists” the additives are so minimal that play no role.
The release is about liability in the event of a guarantee and no more.
Viscosity is not important
Can you also change I know but a laie should flip the same viscosity
If the viscosity and the BMW standard have been adhered to, everything is fine. The manufacturer hardly plays a role. The BMW Oil is also only purchased from an oil manufacturer.
