Hi all

just about to got for my next service and am not taking it to BMW ever again (for reasons most of you probably know).

So the mechanic asked me if I have any specific oil that I want to use. He uses Pakelo normally.

Any comments on this or should I stick to a specific oil?

Also, I don´t have a servicing book . What is standard at 40,000kms?

thanks

service schedule here https://www.motorcycleparts-hornig.com/B...terval-service/ - scroll down to the 20k/40k interval

never heard of Pakelo but they seem to be a well established Italian company - they make an oil that meets the BMW spec. https://pakelo.com/en/products/motorcycl...n-mbk-sae-5w-40

yes, 5W/40 plus the API SN & JASO MA2 as stated above - the Pakelo oil I linked to meets all of the required specs.
