My M6 I have not added one single drop, when I took it in for the 1200 break-in service it was still reading near max. After 2900 or so its till tight as a virgin and still screaming and begging me to push the damn accelerator through the floorboard!
I did baby it and follow the instructions to the T on break in so your milage may very with your choice of driving it like you stole it! |

I don't want to jinx myself, but I haven't had to add a single drop to my M6. I have a little over 3,000 miles on it so far. I wasn't hard on it during break-in, but I didn't baby it either.

Thanks for all this info just added 1/2 quart 2400 miles. What is the best oil that everyone is using castrol 0W30 or the 0W40 or is there something else better.

The "Hard brake-in" has been controversial , but all who have used this method have cars which use little or no Oil. I have used this on the following three cars: F10 550i M Sport : E90 M3: and now the F10 LCI M5. the first two NO oil used, this one at 2900 miles No Oil used. Method, warm engine Oil fully then not exceeding 5.5K RPM work the engine in lower gears up and down letting the gearbox slow you down, you get the "suck and blow effect" on the rings which is what it needs to seal them early , repeat 10 or so times ( on empty roads) and then go by the book. All should be good.

Just passed 5500 miles, oil changed at 1200, so 4300 miles and 1/4 quart low. I'm happy compared to the M5 which used a quart every 1500 mlles. Keeping my fingers crossed. Followed break-in procedure.
