Yes tight clearances means the load is spread more, which means the same bearing can handle a higher load, which may well be why BMW choose the clearances they did.
But tight clearances also needs thinner oil and smaller tolerances, and more rigid components (as it said in that video), but clearly something went wrong with at least one of these factors. And seeing as they choose one of the thickest grade oils for road cars combined with tight clearances, that's a major red flag.

Well this is odd, I can't read p12 of this thread...
Stranger still, this ended up on p11! Deleted post I guess.

royal purple xpr
Nobody is talking about royal purple xpr ? why xpr 10w 60 according to website stats has 102cst 40c and 22 cst 100c .. this would be best cold start protection you can get beating out redline 5w 50 ...

I tend to think the Redline 5W-50 could be a good option for these engines in cold climates since it has relatively similar KV100 and HTHS to the Castrol 10W-60. It may even hold its viscosity better but that would have to be examined via UOA. |

Bert at BE said their bearings were designed around Castrol 10W60. It's my assumption the oil hadn't sheared during their testing/design. So the way I see it, the oil that's closest to Castrol's viscosity which would serve best for BE bearings intended performance/wear benefit, is Red Line 5W50. I've checked practically every other 5W50/10W60 and none of them come close to Castrol's viscosity numbers. With BE V2 bearings and dailying in Chicago, I run Red Line 5W50. Up for an oil change soon so will be getting an UOA. Thinking both Blackstone and OAI. You know, for science. |

Gonna try High Performance Lubricants 5w-50 Bad Ass Racing Oil for a 3-5k mile OCI. The Bob is the Oil Guy forums love their products and spec sheet looks great. Also refilled the differential with their 75w140 Differential Life oil because it also had really great specs. Also poured in two bottles of liquid moly ceratec because I'm on the factory rod bearings and I saw another post on here about how someone ran it in their oil for 2000 miles and it had already noticeably coated their rod bearings when replaced. Not sure if it's a placebo but I had a lifter tick type sound at idle that seems to be gone now. |
