go for Ravenol VMO SAE 5W-40.
I have that engine in my car and I've been obsessed about finding the best lubricant from day 1 of purchase... it seems like in general most engines in the 2000-2014 era, but especially om642, like a thicker oil, 5w40-0w40, with ravenol vmo being the only oil in there that had incredibly low metals in it by far, even at a 10-15k km oil sampling.
I just hit 250,000 miles on my daily driven '95 M3. I've been using Motul 8100 X-CESS 5w-40 for the past 3 years or so. Prior to that, I was using Castrol Edge Euro 5w-30, which was the BMW factory fill. The Motul often comes out still golden. The Castrol always came out black. Didn't need to do an oil analysis to know which one had fewer metal particles.
Very impressed with Motul tho I had Motul but I got tired spending $70 for 4k mile oil changes.
I used to run 8100 Xclean EFE 5w30 for the last 5 years in my 2019 FA20Dit.
I use motul in my heavily modified car though because it’s just that good.
Motul lang gamit ko since 2019, pero now ittry ko ung Pertua. Update kita sa performance.
I run motul 7100 in all my bikes it’s good stuff
I’ve (mostly) only used Motul in my scooters. Only destroyed two engines and the oil wasn’t to blame. (I was.)
I was planning to but returned it. It was listed as a GL4 oil on the website but when it arrived, there wasn’t a mention of the GL4 on the bottle. Had a look at a technical spec sheet of the product online and it isn’t a GL4 oil indeed. Ravenol is quality oil however
