    I run the motul 10w60 X-power on my Turbo S54 with a stock S54 oil cooler and lines and my oil temps never get into the middle zone. when i ran LM with just a CSL airbox, my oil temps always got up into the middle of the gauge. was very annoying.

    i started using motul x power 5w40 in my 4.8is as well with better results over LM. less top offs

        It looks like we may be able to get our sweet sweet nectar once again.

        BMW is switched back from Shell to Castrol as their oil supplier.

          OE BMW hasn't been Castrol for awhile; it's Shell.

          Hard to say how much it all matters, between reputable brands.

          Probably best off with LM or BMW shell from FCPeuro. But I'm stuck in my ways, and prefer Castrol.
          is there something wrong with the new BMW/shell oil?

            No not at all.

            All of this is splitting hairs.

            That said, the OG TWS was special.

                  Haha that's funny. It showed two used boxes for sale for like $92 or something like that and I was like you know I don't really need 24 bottles but then I change my mind and when I went back it showed only one left lol I guess we both got lucky.

                      I'm just excited to see the what the marketing team comes up with for new packaging. Any bets on "M-Quad Turbo Electric Power"?
