I noticed that unlike all of the other S52s his engine wasn't ticking. I asked him why he thought that was and he said it was because he uses Liqui-Moly 10w-60.
Loving the oil, just got my analysis back and it looked great!
this oil is fantastic. the car runs PERFECT. it is a bit pricy but i dont really care. i've used it for +60k doing oil changes every 5k miles... as the report shows, the engine is WAY better than perfect.
I have been using liqui moly 5w-40 in my 2009 2.5l for the past 30k miles and i think its the best oil. recently i have discovered their MoS2 anti friction additive and put that in my last oil change. the car runs very smoothly and should last a long time with its strong wear protection. also the car consistently achieves good MPG.
There is few more approved liquimoly, amsoil I personally use 5w30 liqui with oem filter every 5-6k miles
Related test in European car, changed all fluids and spark plugs saw gain in HP.
When I first purchased my 08 WE, I used M1 0w-40. I found I was using about 1/2 quart per 5000 miles. LM cut that down to about 1/4 quart per 5000 miles.
I use Liqui Moly/Lubro Moly Oil (German synthetic stuff), can be found in Napa Autoparts, ECS or Amazon for a very reasonable price. I use it in my Audi and have had no issues whatsoever.
Looks to be exact same procedure as on my e46. Perhaps the easiest oil change I've ever done. In fact, I've used the same brand and spec oil too, which is an BMW LL-01.
I run VW. 502 Lubra-moly 5w-40 that my local NAPA special orders for me.
