Mobil1 High Milage 5w-30 Oil
Hello, Xperts ,

I'm thinking of switching from the BMW 5w-30 oil to the new Mobil1 oil noted above because I want the seal conditioner that it has built in.

High Milage oils also have higher ZDDP levels than regular oil (1200 if I recall correctly vs. 800 in new oils) which is better for the top end of the older engines. My X5 is a 2001 4.4 and I'm not sure if it is OK to use this oil w/ it.

Does anyone have experience or know if it's OK to make this switch?

Thanks.
