What oil?

FCP Euro completely changes the game for oil. After just 1 lifetime exchange, the effective price drops so low that there's no way anything from any other vendor could possibly be worth the money. Like, there's no way for an engine oil to extend the life of an engine by enough to offset the price difference.2008 M3 Sedan 6MT

Spoke/texted with a friend having his S54 bearings replaced in his race car as we speak. He has WPC bearings and has been running Total Quartz 10W-60 synthetic racing oil with LiquiMoly Cera Tec (https://products.liqui-moly.us/cera-tec-1.html) . This will be fun to compare if the LiquiMoly additive actually helped when I tear down my motor.

As a few have noted in here already, FCP changed the game for me. I've been using Liqui Moly 10W-60 for a few years now with no problems. With FCP's lifetime replacement policy can't imagine using anything else. They do sell the BMW 10w-60 I think too.2004 E46 Imola Red M3 Coupe

Just did an oil change today with $9/L Castrol 10W-60 from Amazon.This is my Unbuild Journal and why we need an oil thread
