8100 X-Clean EFE is what I ran, but yeah, it doesn't really matter

I use Motul 5100 been running for 8k miles with no issues and smooth shifting.
I've been using motul 300v for the last 5k kms, inclined to use the same in the next oil change or will switch to motul 7100.
I've been using this oil on my '17 BMW S1000R (5W40 weight) right after I got the first oil change from the dealership at 1K KM. Bike now has 25K KM and still running like new. Nothing wrong about seals, runs great and shifts have always been buttery smooth. I don't baby the bike, and change the oil once a year since I only do about 3K KM per year. When flushing, it's still red, a tiny bit darker than when I put it in. To me, this an excellent oil and it is much, much cheaper than the OEM BMW one, and it is JASO MA2 specs.
i have a bajaj 200NS and was given same reason in 2015. i didnt pursued furthur and got Motul as it is much better engine oil than crap they use. 33k km later, no issue and i get it serviced outside.
4100 turbo light? It isn't JASO MA specified for motorcycles and wet clutches. No damage from oil. Probably just rough gear changing and maybe rough on the clutch plates but you should be fine.
Anyhow, BMWs are arctic tested and the mega aluminum blocks can contract to -50C and can still safely start with 0W40. So the key is 7000-10000 kms but mandatory 0w4- or a 5w30 Liqui Molly or Fuchs or motul BEFORE WINTER.
I use Motul 8100 5w-30. But I've heard the Ravenol is good, I think it's what one of the 86 racing series runs.
I also tried Ravenol's MT fluid, and I'm thinking I'm going back to it after the RedLine.
I use the Motul 8100 5w30 normally , just recently tried the 5w40 but I’m about to change it back.
Car feels slugish with the thicker oil.
I don’t like that ????????♂️
I'm using Motul 300V, the engine is so damm smooth. It's so smooth and I got bored. But at higher speed it's excellent.
