Why would they not recommend the Shell 1060? I don't get why everyone seems befuddled by a business prop w/ a new company. Whoever pays the most $$$ usually gets the manufacturs reco.. Now it is shell. And shell has a 1060 |

This bulletin has since been taken down, and there was some debate as to the grammar within said bulletin. Of course, it wouldn't be a true BMW issue if there wasn't some form of controversy or debate

I would not be at all surprised if Castrols contract contained clauses concerning support for some legacy engine oils for a set number of years. I guess it will depend on whether BMW's engineering department want to take risk that an oil make swap might make things worse. Better the devil you know.... |

Yes - this sums it up. I do remember this, and I remember reading the spec and wondering why some people were misinterpreting it. Still, I thought this was cleared up a while back so if people are running Mobil 1 0W40 becasue they think it is approved, it is not.
