But, I've already responded to your points. You make good ones, and I don't ALWAYS disagree. You are right under the right circumstances, and we have to recognize them. Shawn |

The video was informative. I believe reading though tech material that the F90 has added additional ports and rings in the pistons, what are your thought as to how this helps ? versus the older generation. |

Here's a pretty good comparison to the NON-M V8, and the upgrades... https://www.caranddriver.com/feature...them-the-same/ Additional oil control groove, 8 drain ports compared to 4, and sixteen oil sprayers means they have studied the oil handling EXTENSIVELY. TWO oil pumps and pickups. Additionally, the HUGE volume of oil stabilizes the additive package AND temperature. Its a big upgrade. Big. Shawn |

If you're not, the 5W-40 with the proper pack (again, BMW approved) will be fine for the long run. So will a 0W-40. Strongly suggest you stick to oils with "euro" specialties (the only US one that seems to really be up to speed is Redline, but it's HEAVY on the additive pack). Liqui-moly, Pentosin, Motul, Ravenol. And one with LL-01 FE. You gotta look HARD for that one. There are plenty of oils that are "probably" fine. But the direct injection on this motor MIGHT be sensitive to deposits. The detonation problem noted above is unfortunately a new development in the direct injection engines (which are much higher compression usually, and susceptible to "dieseling" anyway). So the answer is complex. But you're mostly better off sticking to the BMW certified oils. Pick a viscosity CLOSE to OEM spec. Try not to jump two viscosities. I hope that helps. Shawn |

But, there's no "bad" oil in that group. None. Not like the olden days of my youth in the 1970's. Shawn |

Think about that for a second. The "extended interval fuel economy" will minimize friction for fuel economy and keep contaminants at a minimum to avoid sludge and deposits. What's the downside there? Shawn |

No sludge in my oil. I have yet to find any in a motor of mine that I have opened up. And LL01 and LL04 are low SAPS. I think the FE is for fuel economy and 10k mile change intervals. It is not necessarily the best or only good choice for the S63TU4, but is good for BMWs free service and for their CAFE compliance.

Find SOMEBODY who has a BMW that is STOCK, that has had excessive engine wear by using stock oil. I challenge you. Tracked/dragged/whatever. We did this on the GT-R as well. Everybody whose engine builder said "wrong oil" had 1000 hp plus on ignorant levels of boost, and the stupid GT-R held Five quarts. FIVE. And no engine failures were from shitty oil. It was just excessive bearing wear. Today's oils are just so, so good. Shawn |

I agree there are not a lot of wrong oils among the generally right oils. I also agree state of the art oils are all really good. I have not seen any reports of M5 blowing up from non LL01FE 5W30 oils. I also have not seen any 100,000 mile or 10 year engine wear tests of the F90 M5, and am not convinced BMW cares what happens several years out of warranty as much as it cares about avoiding CAFE penalties and saving money on free servicing. Time will tell. But in the meantime, it is actually hard to make a bad oil choice unless you are completely ignorant.

So long as you are in the ballpark, you'll be fine. Just study and use what you wish. Throw us some oil analyses, and if they're "interesting" enough, I'll do some on the OEM fill and we'll compare. Just so you know, old dude with a GT-R did this to me years ago on NAGTROC. He used wal-mart off the shelf 0W-40 Mobil-1 and was ALMOST as good as any of my Motul 300V's, Redline, and Renewable Lubricant's. He spent 1/3 on his oil over the life of his 2009 GT-R as I did. It hurt. Shawn |

How do you know it was almost as good versus just as good?
Mobil 1 0W40 is a great oil — I ran it in my E90 M3 that specified 10W60. Of course it originally specified Castrol 10W60 and people would say the engine was designed around the Castrol oil, but when Shell took over BMW’s oil contract, Shell 10W60 became good enough. |
