1998 BMW 318i 1.9L 4-CYLINDER ENGINE CODE M44 B19 1
Your 1998 BMW 318i is part of a generation BMW owners still talk about fondly. The 1.9L four-cylinder under the hood is the M44, the engine BMW used in its entry-level models through the late 1990s. It is a simple, chain-driven motor with a reputation for running forever when the oil is kept fresh.
These engines were built before the era of direct injection and turbochargers, so they are easy on oil. What they ask for is a quality synthetic in the right viscosity and oil changes on a reasonable schedule. The M44 is not a high-strung engine, but it is old enough now that good oil is the cheapest insurance you can buy for it.
AMSOIL's European formula lineup was designed with exactly this kind of engine in mind. The right oil keeps the hydraulic valve adjusters quiet and the engine smooth, which is what keeps a 1990s BMW feeling solid instead of tired.
The 1998 BMW 318i 1.9L 4-Cylinder requires 0W-30 full synthetic motor oil. Capacity is 5.3 quarts including filter.
