What oil you guys using?

2019 M5 Comp with JB4 here and I run it (wouldn't you?). BMW sets car for 8000 miles between scheduled services. So I am going to get oil changed on my dime at elapsed 4K miles to keep motor happy. What oil do you guys recommend? I am thinking 10.6 quarts of 10-W-30 Mobil 1, then scheduled service in 4000 miles. Live in Florida. Any other recommendations? Thanx.

Technically Mobil isn't recommended anymore since they changed their formula but I still used it on my 50i. Since then I use liqui moly 5w-40 from FCP Euro.

Yea I get it. I guess I forgot to mention I only take it to BMW for the scheduled every 8000 mile services cuz don't wanna have to take the JB4 off more often than that. It's a small PITA. For the intervening 4K oil change, I will take it to an indy shop that won't care about the JB4.

Rowe 5w-50. Also in Florida, and I also never take my car to the dealership. Have the oil changed at my Indy every 5k'ish miles.
