These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • PistonHeads: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

I have used Castrol Magnatec and Shell Helix, both 10W40 semi-synthetic in my S2. Hasn't needed topping up since the last service

POST 2Original post

The thicker the better. I would recommend Castrol RS 10W60 (the best) or equivalent Motul. Avoid Mobile 1, it's no more what it used to be.

POST 3Original post

Castrol have a new product on the market, which beats the RS hands down. It's the Castrol TSW 10W60 and was developed for high performance engines, like the M3 and the M5. I used it in my convertible and was very happy. I think the only "drawback" is that you can only buy it from BMW for the time being and that it is expensive...

POST 4Original post

Where the hell do people get Castrol RS 10/60 - I need to service the CS at the weekend and finding somewhere that sells it ain't easy?

POST 6Original post

Scotster I spotted this on another forum- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have been trying to buy Castrol RS 10/60 for weeks but no one seems to stock it or is even able to order it. So I called Castrol directly, they gave me the number for Castrol Classics (01954) 231668 they take your order over the phone and post it to you free of charge............ if ya get stuck try Castrol Classics (01954) 231668 they take your order over the phone and post it to you free of charge............

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ended up using Shell Helix Super 10 W 50 (becuase that's all they had at the petrol station ). Should be good enough I guess. I'll try the Castrol RS when it next needs a change.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The motor needs its first top up since I've had it today. Any one got any suggestion / reccomendations on what brand or viscosity? The manual suggests the following: Multigrade: SAE 20 W-40 SAE 20 W-50 SAE 15 W-40 Superlubrifiante: SAE 5 W-40 SAE 5 W-50 The manual is in French so I assume superlubrifiante means synthetic? The guy who had it before me used to use Shell Helix.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
