BMW twin turbo
I just had the oil changed on my e92 m3. I noticed in the receipt the part for the oil was labelled "twin turbo m3". The weight was listed as 10-w60 the usual stuff. I'm assuming it's the same oil just the designation now goes with the new m cars. Is that a safe assumption or did my dealer screw up?

I asked my service advisor yesterday about my old TWS bottles I have as well, and she explained that Castrol TWS is 100% okay to use for oil changes and topping off...

The odd thing is that the new twin turbo engine oil is supposed to be 0w-40 or 0w-30... Why the hell they labeled the 10w 60 bottle with twin power turbo is a mystery really...

the twin turbo bullshit in the name is just marketing. Just like everything in the 80s was TURBO this and that as a superlative adjective

It says twin power turbo, which is nonsensical. Read the label, it says 10-60 for our model year M3s

Would have been cool if the Castrol 10w 60 was called "Naturally Aspirated Power" |

It's been about 4000 miles since my oil change with the new BMW twin turbo 10w60 oil and I have had ZERO oil consumption so far. It's been pegged at max since the oil change. Usually by now with the TWS I would have seen some consumption. Anyone with similar experience?
Also I started taking my car to a Indy shop and they recommend liqui moly full synthetic 10w60. I'm very nervous to not use the BMW recommended brand. Am I crazy?

From my experience I noticed that my S65 prefers Castrol Edge .

Yup, I remember my PC had a "Turbo" button on it. If you turned off turbo, it would run at 1/2 the speed or something. So turbo stayed on all the time.
