What engine oil for the M3 US (M50B30)
Hello
I'm not good in german language - sorry...
What engine oil would be the best shot for my engine? I've though about using the Castrol TWS 10W-60 - is't also suitable for the US M3?
German answers are also welcome 🙂
Danke

Hi
Sorry is a little bit ot,
but the name of your engine is
S50B30 and not M50B30, or?
Or are the engine names in USA different then in Europe?Sorry my Englisch isn´t good too!
The US M3 is a M50B30 (240PS - 315nM), and it looks exactly like a normal M50 engine...

stellt sich die frage ob das öl dann wirklich richtig is was für die europa bms is
das 10w60 hat doch keine freigae für m50/52 sondern nur für m oder ?
bin mir aber da jetzt nich so sicher
I don't understand?

the 10w-60 "problem" regards olny S54 and S62 engines
afaik you should be able to use the usual oil für m50 engines
edit: why don´t you contact bmw ?

Is the 10w-60 suitable for a normal M50/52 engine - elsewhere whatother Castrol oil?
Formula RS 0w40, GTX, TXT SLX? I'm confused...
Danke

i don´t think that anybody here will have correct informations about the oil used to be in your engine...so contact bmw with your vin and the question which oil to use <-- this action can´t harm 😁
and if you just think that it is a M50 i´ts dangerous because the S engines should afaik ONLY be filled with 10w60

He said that it is an M50 engine, not S50... I think the US engines are stronger, so you can use also 10W40...

The user said it's an M50... So many M50 aren't there, or?
Wait, i had to look in the ETK directly... Perhaps he can help us, if god wants it! 😁
@Tommy
The ETK said that it only gives in the US M3 an S50B30, not M50... But only in Coupe! All different versions of E36 has the S52B32 included! Now i don't knew more as before... 🙄
@pley99
Are you absolutly sure that it is an M50B30? Is it an original M3 or is it an 325 with parts of the BMW E46 M54B30 3 Liter engine? Than it can be a 3 Liter engine M50! 😉
i wanted to say that the M50B30 hasn´t to be like all the usual german/europe M50 engines...

What is the difference between M50 US engine with 240 hp to the german M50 engine?
Is it a normal 3000 ccm engine with normal injection and normal exhaust system and and and?

Also I would like to knew that... It musst be an 3 Liter! Where should come otherwise so many horse power? And 315 Newton Meters would fit!
Jetzt verwirrt den armen Kerl doch net...
Surely you can take the Castrol TWS 10W60 oil in your US M3 machine. But be sure, that you take the TWS and not the RS 10w60 oil. I drive with it since over 30.000 km and i have no problems! On the contrary - the engine runs smoother than before! I can it advise at best!
One last tip: DO NOT FILL IN THE 0W40 OIL, ITS TO THIN

Okay I'll try the Formula TWS 10W60. Are your 325 with the normal M50 engine?
Thank you all for the great help 😁
