There are many options available, from various brands to different grades, but only a few suit the specific needs of the BMW E46 M3.
So, which is the correct oil for your BMW E46 M3? Keep reading to find out.
BMW’s Recommended Oil for E46 M3
When it comes to your E46 M3s, you need to use a specific grade of engine oil in order to ensure the engine is maintained correctly.
The specific oil recommended by BMW for the E46 M3 is the Castrol TWS 10W-60.
BMW partnered with Castrol to make an oil specifically for their M engines, so it is crucial to use this exact oil on your M3 if you want to maintain it correctly.
It’s important to note that not any 10W-60 will do. This specific TWS oil has additional additives crucial for the M3s engine, so it must be the 10W-60 TWS oil.
Do You Have to Use This Specific Oil On the E46 M3?
The short answer is yes, if you want your engine to last.
These motors are made with much tighter tolerances and are under higher strain due to being high performance.
This oil was specifically designed for use in these motors to maintain them as long as possible in top condition.
If you use a different oil, whether it’s a different weight or contains different additives, you are risking increased wear on your engine.
