Dealer did a oil service - receipt says they put in 10w-60 oil?
To my knowledge the F90 engine oil should be 0w-30 5w-30 or 5w-40?
But i also found this on oilincar.com were it says 10w-60 is ok? |

I would not run 10W60 unless you need it — live in a very hot area and drive hard or track the car. Otherwise, I would use the weight BMW specified or just slightly thicker.
I did have an E90M3 for which BMW specified 10W60 though I often ran 5W50, 5W40 or even 0W40 instead. Winter can be cold in my area and 10W60 cranked noticeably slower and was probably getting to bearings more slowly as well. |

Yes the the 10w-60 is definitely a thicker oil that Is used in the E60 M5 and i think also E90 M3 engines. I saw now that there is a Bmw part number 83210398511 beside the oil weight and i did a search on it it's a Bmw 5w30 oil so i think im good. |
