Engine oil FUCHS or Pentosin
I run Fuchs Titan Truck 15w40 in my Cummins 6BT, engine was rebuilt about 50,000ks ago, seems to go alright with this oil
Pros: seems to go alright
Mileage: 50000 km
I use Pentosin Pento HP II fully synthetic Euro Spec 5w-40 oil (made by Fuchs Oil in Germany). According to test data I have read it is a much better oil than the Mobil 1 oil. I believe that the 5w-40 oil provides greater protection against oil vaporization, as the OM642 can run at elevated temperatures leading to high oil temperatures, which tends to break down the oil sooner.
Pros: better than Mobil 1, greater protection, resists vaporization
I can whole heartedly recommend Fuchs Silkolene oils, it actually quieted down my sv compared to Motul.
Pros: quieter than Motul
Am bagat si eu Fuchs intr-un 3.0tdi si in romania 1L e 60 de lei cam asa dar pe [Ebay.de](http://Ebay.de) e 35 de lei litrul la fel si Aral, ciudat de ieftin. Motorul merge cam cu 10'C mai putin la ulri fata de castrol(se ducea si la 119'C pe autostrada)
Pros: Motorul merge mai putin
Cons: ulei scump in Romania

Fuchs is excellent oil, run it in my nismo 370z cause it has specific esters that the cylinder liners need. Don't think it's necessary BMW engines but it is very good quality oil.
