Service Intervals

[Spalding]

What service intervals are you using for your E30’s?

Also, what viscosity oil are you using? I have been told that 20w50 is best. Isn't this motorcycle oil?

For the record, this is for the six cylinder tractor motor! :thumbs:

I don't drive enough to do servicing based on mileage, so I just do a tune-up every 6 months (as suggested by the shop).

10w40 for the summer and 20w50 for the winter.

I just change the oil every 4-5k and the other fluids once every two years. Other than that I don't do anything. I use 20w50 all year around. I'm pretty sure you want a thicker oil in summer and a thinner oil in winter though. Since it doesn't get cold here and my car is kept in a garage I don't change to a thinner oil.

15w-50 mobil 1 - change between 5-7000 kms. I would use a 20w-50 synthentic but they are virtually impossible to find in canada.
