Just got back my first report. No track use - occasional spirited driving!

2010 E92 - 42,000km. I usually stay around 5500-8000 km between changes.

Looks pretty good except for viscosity. Both seem relatively low. Any reason for that? This was a cold winter in the great white north if that has any impact.

I sent the following to my advisor after the most recent oil change...................

I am looking at the invoice from my oil change and it indicates BMW Motor Oil SAE 1

Is that the high performance BMW / Castrol 10W60 TWS Synthetic Oil - required and recommended in the manual?

I have been assuming all along the correct oil is being used.

Hopefully it is a listing error.


He indicated the correct oil was used and the listing on the invoice was incorrect.

I did notice the following:

Molybdenum seemed high
Titanium seemed high (additive in this type of oil?)
Calcium and Magnesium seemed high
