I wonder if this was about cutting cost again. The world may never know. Anyway, that's very interesting. Thanks

I'm fairly certain it was about money, but it could also have to do with availability. BMW and Castrol have been aligned for a very long time.

I'm all for informed owners making their own oil choices...its the uninformed owners (being encouraged to switch on the back of a few UOAs) that I worry about. |

That 5W-40 Pennzoil is some good oil. Castrol doesn't have anything in their consumer basket that compares. As others have recommended, go read up at BITOG. For the record, I would never run Castrol 10W-60 in my S65. I ran lighter weight Redline (a mixture that worked out to 10W-40). I won't knock anyone that runs the 0W-40 M1. Definitely an excellent choice for the S65.
