Using Redline 5w-50 on my E90 M3. it's supposed to have a similar viscosity at high temps as most 60wt oils. Comes up to operating temp faster and doesn't overheat.
Pros: high quality, doesn't overheat
Vehicle:
BMW
my personal analysis’ on my s54 over the past 7 years using LM 10/60 have all been perfectly fine with low wear numbers.
Pros: low wear numbers, perfectly fine
I've been using the original castrol 10-60 oil and then more recently the BMW M TwinPower 10-60 oil for the last 10 years on my e46 M3.
Pros: long-term usage, positive experience
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 125000 km
I was running Castrol 0w30 European formula in my 07 323i and the car ticked a lot and made noises I’ve never heard it make previously when running 5w30. So recently I swapped to castrol 5w40 European formula and the car is whisper quite even on cold starts. It just sounds so much healthier.
Pros: car is whisper quite
Cons: car ticked a lot
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 300000 km
Amsoil allegedly is the best. I use it in everything and no issues so far.
Pros: no issues so far
I used to do Motorcraft 5w20 but I ended up switching to Mobil 1. It just performed better in the car and made the engine run smoother and quieter.
Pros: smoother engine, better performance
I've used both and have put over 50,000 miles on my B46 (b48) without any issues. I think the liqui moly might be a little quieter, but otherwise no difference I can find. I would not put a heavier oil than the engine was designed for. These engines are a little noisy IMO but that doesn't mean anything is wrong. I actually think mine is quieter now at 88,000 then when I bought it at 34,000.
Pros: quieter engine, no issues
Cons: engine a little noisy
Mileage: 50000 km
Not certain what Castrol makes for a synthetic, but I know I experienced white foamy build up on my oil cap on a previous vehicle using Castrol. Switched oil and it stopped.
Pros: stopped white foamy build up
Cons: white foamy build up
