36k miles and still not burning a drop between 10k OCI's. I use VW 0W-20 Full Syn 508/509 spec each and every time, until mobil1 releases a Full Syn clone. Noticed a "slight" increase in MPG's with the newer oil.
I’ve had M52B25 in my E36. Now I have an E46 coupe with M54B22, I only use Motul 8100 x-cess, 5w40
For Motul you want xcess not X-clean. X-clean is only for things with direct injection. I would do xcess or t6, ether work in 5w-40. I do both of them with my stage 2.6 IAG block as they recommend. Mostly Motul, but the last change I did was t6 since I could not get motul locally or in a reasonable amount of time.
I’ve heard a lot of people and shops use motul.
Motul 0w30 has the correct approvals also.
Motul 300V for track use.
Currently using Motul 8100 Eco 0w20. Abit pricey but I switched to since it has the latest certs for turbo charged engines.
Motul Is the snizz. I put it in my Honda and every German car that comes in for service.
My flavor of choice has been Motul 8100 x-cess (5w-40) every 5K or 6 months.
Well, just got back the test results on for our oil analysis, here are the comments: " Nothing showed up in this sample that's too much of a surprise, though aluminum and copper are perhaps a little higher than expected. New parts wearing in tend to leave a lot of metal in the oil and that's what we suspect is going on here. You ran this oil pretty long for factory oil (we realize you were probably only following the oil life monitor). So that's why aluminum and copper are on the high side. No matter--everything should improve now that you've changed this fill. The TBN read 1.9, getting low but still okay. Potassium is from the EGR system. "
