Engine oil M54 3.0i

Post by alec.m »

It`s time for an oil change on my M54 3.0i. I recall reading in a post on here that the 3.0 M54 engine has a tendency to use oil but if you used a certain grade it minimised this. I`ve searched posts but can`t find this info. I would be grateful for any info and advice. Thanks Alec
