I'm also running 5W50 on both E9X M3s now, but don't do Blackstone so I can't comment on viscosity breakdown

I'm assuming from the photo above that 0w-40 works? Can you show me the photo of the Mobil 1 oil you use? I'd like to try myself.

I had my S65 seized on 50k km because of main bearings, running on Red Line 10w60 from factory. You can find my old topic with photos here:
https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1431846 So after engine rebuild (new engine block, pistons, BE bearings, ARP bolts) I'm running Mobil 1 0w40 to keep my main bearings safe, just like my friends (RomanK and toolshed) above with no issues for about another 50k km. |

RomanK Yea I've seen that photo, pity it didn't show the other bearings.

Here is my last oil analysis. This sample had ~6 months and 7,200KM hard KM on it. Most of the driving was city or spirited back road rips.
The Red Line 5w50 sheared down to 17.07. Previous use of Red Line 10w60 sheared down to 17.98 over a similar interval. All in all, I am happy to have BE bearings in my S65. Cheers,

Cool , so how many miles have the BE bearings done?
The 40C cSt would've been handy to see for that 5w/50 too. I'm trying to remember what cSt 10w/60 Castrol starts at & typically shears down to?......

How many track miles on the car? What prompted you to take the engine apart?

I am surprised by the lack of comments regarding your BE shells. The wear pattern typically seen with OEM bearings posted on this site seems to be present, albeit quite subtle. The coloration also seems inconsistent from shell to shell and at least one appears to be missing a chunk.

Looks bad. 70k km = 50k miles, it isn't that much. What prompted you to use 0W40 vs 10W60 as recommended with these bearings?

The very thin TriArmor coating is not worn in any drastic manner. The babbitt layer is not damaged in any way (apart from the debris damage). This post has 50,000 mile bearings that "look like shite." Cheers,

The filter is often bypassed during a cold cold start. If there is too much pressure building up trying to get thick cold oil through the pleated paper filter, the oil bypasses then filter. Of course there should be no debris in the oil to start with after the last shut down but there could be some in the pan that makes it past the pickup screen.
