    But I agree with BP. You can send it to a testing lab after using it, to see how things are working.
    Correct. Mobil 1 0w-40 had the certification and then it got removed. 5w-30 never had it.

    Also this is a good article in regards to oil suggestions from Redline and Bimmerworld

    Ok thanks. I knew that the euro formula was good, but prefer 5w30. I read that long article by the engineer who worked with oils and explained a lot. From what I gather the closer the winter and regular weight is the better. In NC there is no need for 0w seeing as how we hardly ever get below 0C.

    I plan on sending my oil to get analyzed and trying a few different ones for comparison sake. Is there a thread somewhere of a Blackstone results compilation?

    I’m in need of a top off and the PO used liquimolly 5w30 when he did OFHG and oil change prior to my purchase. I’m only 2k in and not ready for an oil change. Should I just stick with what he used for my top offs?

    Ideally yes.

    Liqui Molly is some good stuff.

    Its been almost a year since the last post here and I'd getting ready for my first oil change. What are people using nowadays? There wasn't any talk about liquimoly? is it true thats mostly because its a bit newer to NA?

    5W 30 or 40? is 30 typically used for gas milage? Thats how I'm seeing them as advertised but just wanted to see what others have experienced.
