I understand oil, you don't, and as this is an oil thread you're up shite creek without a paddle.

Have you worked it out yet dumbo? A tip, go look at an SAE viscosity chart

I took a look at your chart and learned from it.
It taught me that even if you were right, you're the kind of guy who never learns why no one likes you. Guess it just doesn't matter to you?
Dale Carnegie was talking to you.

You're a bullshitter, I'm not. Sticks in your craw mate, but you'll get over it.

How do you use this BG MOA additive? Do you add a can at oil change time? Do you top up with it on an ongoing basis? Could I just start by adding it next time I need to top up? What's the regime with this stuff? Sounds good.

@ stinger9 - he doesn't get it. HE is smart, everyone else is not. People using "recommended" oil are having consumption problems with their M and S54s, people with other oils are having consumption problems with the M and S54s. Looks like M and S54s have oil consumption problems. Some things are obvious, and their are a select few that simply do not get that.

Yeah just add a can the next time u change out your oil. I think a can is able to support up to x quart. I need to look at the bottle to find out.

i just want to make sure before i add any additive into the engine.

thanks!

Yup that is it. I have seen multiple BMW dealerships uses and recommend BG products. The funny thing is that BMW (the company) doesn't recommend any oil additives

Having been and around the auto industry for 30+ years, one must balance product suggestions with profit motive. MANY service writers at dealerships are paid salary AND commissions. If you and I can buy MOA for $8-10 each, and dealerships can/do sell it for $20-25 ............ That said, dealerships need to make a profit and have a LOT of risk/liability/overhead. But I have seen the full suite of BG, engine and trans flushes, f.i./carbon services all pushed even on cars well inside warranty. Yet, coolant and brake flushes are often NOT encouraged. Why? Some services are labor intensive, and some are not. Less labor, more profit. Choose wisely.

Oil consumption in E46 engines here is basically unknown. We don't use CAFE viscosity XW30 oils. Maybe you can GET that?

I got something sticky on my shoe and no matter how hard I scrape it, it just won't come off. How can I get rid of this?

Stop being a penis cranium maybe?

Ugh, now it's starting to smell.

Yup, you do............

Some folks have shared the opinion that you are an a-hole. Proven. And may I add childish. Take a walk-about and have a private hissy fit. Apparently Americans that own E46s with M54s and high oil consumption aren't good enough. The Germans must have sent Australia all the good ones.

Christ you're slow. Again we DON'T USE XW30 OIL. What part of that don't you understand?

You pompous windbag, people running XW40 have consumption issues as well. Even with your magic damn LL stuff. Oil can not accommodate for bore that wear egg shaped (common) or CCV systems that clog up despite proper maintenance. Maybe your air is magic. But HERE, oiling issues in M54s is as common as mice -------------- without regard for what oil is used or apparently the car's history. You can huff and puff all you want, but M54s have issues.

Not here in god's country they don't!

Well, if E46s (at least M54 equipped ones) have no issues, then you CAN'T know what you are talking about since you have nothing there to learn on. So, sit down over in the corner, ****, and we'll call you when/if we need you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
