I would say so, be careful not to fill the oil level over 1/2 way on the dipstick, as you can get the overfill warning coming on if you max the level to the indicated level.

The good news I would say it it doesn't sound bottom end related, to me it sounds half engine speed so tappet or an injector

If there is someone with a Carly system (on this Forum and close to you) who can plug in that might help.  It’s just a dongle that plugs into the OBDII port and talks to either an Android or IOS app.  You can send the log to Carly for them to have a look too.

I have the Carly system and NT Pro for BMW diagnostics. If anyone wants to use it just PM me. Spent over £200 for NT used once:
