Hi all,

Need opinion/guidance on what oil to use to service a 340i (2016) so gen1 B58.
It's a due a service, and I intend on doing the oil and filter myself.

I have had a look around (reddit, forums etc) and what BMW recommend.
Options are:
1. BMW recommendation / what they will use - 0w30 LL.
2. What I have always used in previous/all other cars - 5w30 (will be LL as per requirement)
3. Some forums/reddit posts also recommend 0w20 or 0w40.

Which would be the one to use? Will only be in the car for 10k (12k max)

Thank you
