As for using 0w40, there's many threads on this forum saying the benefits of running 0w40 including faster warm up/cool down, faster revving engine and increased lubrication for rod bearings. It's actually ideal for non-track use.

the benefits of 0w are all bullshit. it is a myth started in north american purely due to the CAFE requirements alone. do yourself a favour and read up on those if you are interested. no other place in the world claims 0w oil is better.. because its not. it is not possible for a physically thinner oil to provide the same levels of protection as a physically thicker oil. the M3 has extremely loose bearing clearances to be able to run 10w60 oil like this. 0w40 will NOT anywhere near fill those bearings properly and therefore NOT provide your engine with sufficient protection. I have heard of aggressive drivers blowing the bottom end of their vehicles with a 0w oil and I will never make the switch in my life. thats most likely exactly what it is. why else do you think bmw wants you to change oil every 15k and that transmission fluid is "lifetime?" |

There are many people who run 0w40 on the track with no problems. These include M3 shop cars that are set up for track use. I have driven a mix of 0w40 on track with no issues. It cools much better than 10w60. You can check the oil analysis thread to see my oil analysis results after track days. Do you ever go to the BITOG oil forums? 0w40 Mobil 1 european formula is one of the highest quality oils you can buy. They run a ton of tests on it and all the oil experts there agree it is very good.

I use 5w40 shell rotella in my N52 and the car loved it compared to 5w30. we were using 0w20 castrol and once tried mobil 1 in my dads mazda and it ate through a whole quart within 5000 miles. it consumed oil much less with castrol (which isnt much better then mobil 1, but still better) then we made the switch to 5w30 liqui moly, and what a difference it made. the engine pulled much smoother. no more valve clatter especially on cold starts. literally consumes no oil. it genuinely transformed the motor and you can FEEL it operating better, happier. it just feels smoother and more solid. we switched to 5w30 mainly due to the oil consumption problem which is now non exsistent, but 0w is death to rod bearings. I appreciate you politely stating your point without being an egotistical moron like everybody else on these forums,but I strongly suggest you read up on the cafe requirements. its important that you know about this. cheers |

The S65 is well known to have rod bearing issues due to insufficient rod bearing clearance. Aftermarket companies such as BE bearings and VAC make extra clearance bearings to address this issue. BMW messed up in designing the engine. That's why running a lighter oil is beneficial for lubrication on stock bearings.

manufacturers increasing clearance of aftermarket bearings DOES NOT = thinner oil. its the other way around. |

He probably likes to hit up the whore houses a lot. Hey now I'm Asian so what you trying to stereotype? You Canadians say abouuut, ehhhhhhh?, proucess, but I don't discriminate If you think "Asians" as a whole are weird you got issues buddy. Last time I checked Toronto was full of them.

All "synthetic" oils do contain some non-synthetic content, and vice-versa. This gives you the best of both (all?) worlds. Mobil 1 is a synthetic oil. Don't get too hung up on base oil chemistry, it's just one piece of the overall picture.

The aftermarket is trying to fix the BMW rod bearings by using extra clearance bearings. If you change the rod bearings, you can use 10w60 no problem. On a stock car, not a good idea. Lots of information on BMW's fuck up: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=892838
