What oil?

[digger]

every time someone brings up engineers I always think about their structural or mechanical ones who developed our RACP, exhaust hub tabs, and rod bearing (early pre LCI cars, and of course BMW blamed manufacturing, which may have been true). There is engineering and then there is engineering within the corporate arena and sometimes, well..... lol.

My sentiments exactly.

I don't care about oil and I'm dumb so I just use 10w-60, but I will say every time someone brings up engineers I always think about their structural or mechanical ones who developed our RACP, exhaust hub tabs, and rod bearing (early pre LCI cars, and of course BMW blamed manufacturing, which may have been true). There is engineering and then there is engineering within the corporate arena and sometimes, well..... lol.

Very true.

Could you explain how this maps onto the oil discussion? Are you saying BMW's recommendations aren't worth more than the aftermarket's (or our own opinions) because their engineering was obviously compromised by cost-cutting?

Can't, not qualified to talk about oil at any meaningful level. Not even the least little bit. See bottle, open bottle, pour contents of bottle in little hole.
