Oil - What does the book say please?

Post by Tog »

Hello. I have searched but not got definitive answer. I also will say my RTP did not come with a manual.


So to stop any arguments etc. I want to change my engine oil and wondered what the manual says.  Just the official line please. Not a view from oil technicians 😁


Twin Cam 2014 ( last of TC’s).


Obviously I’m conscious about feedback about oil threads. So just looking for BMW company line on this if possible. Thanks

Found this at OnBuy.com, Castrol Power 1 Engine Oil 15W-50 4T, 4L, Castrol Power 1 Engine Oil 15W-50 4T, 4L on OnBuy

I bought some oil from OnBuy.com, next day delivery, the API is SN (better than SJ).
