What oil?

Ceratec is not free ;-)

Cheaper on Amazon too.

This is true, they did spin after the first change with the twin power stuff. However, given how fubarred the bearing was, how little the crank was damaged and how hard I drove it with the damaged bearing, I think the oil did extremely well. It was coincidental it went out with that oil. When it first started to tick I didn't think it was a bearing (or anything that serious) so I still hit redline a few times and the engine didn't grenade itself, impressive if you ask me.

oh and hello everyone

Ah I guess I was remembering things wrong. For some reason I thought you had traced it back to the oil.

Running BMW 10W-60 + Ceratec. Nothing like free from FCP.

LM 10W-60, FCP. If shipping the old oil back is "a little annoying" you might be "a little lazy".

Where's icecream? I remember he spun a bearing after switching from TWS. Might have been coincidence, but it seemed to be the only thing that changed

Following this thread got me reading post by post 🤣

for some reason, and probably a glitch of some sort, LM's website only recommends their 10w60 for cars prior to 2010. look up recommendations for any BMW that calls for 10w60 and it will say "only for <2010". I emailed them to see exactly why?

Not sure if Molygen is available in grades other than 5W-30 and 5W-40, but those grades carry no approvals whatsoever. They are “recommended for” a bunch of specs, which for the 5W-40 includes LL-01.

Whoops, thought the new LM oils were Molygen, they're under a different line: https://www.liqui-moly.us/en/press/p...moly-4402.html

Fun fact I just found out. The only ones that recommend Liquimoly is Liquimoly.

Castrol is obviously approved by BMW.
