I would not recommend that oil. My F85 went into the last service under warranty on 5/29/2020 with 29550 miles, so it was filled with BMW oil. By July, 2020 I was at 36483 miles and decided to change oil and used the LiquiMoly 5W30 Special Tec LL Engine Oil from FCP along with a bottle of the Mos2 additive. Unfortunately, I didn't or don't recall going into the vehicle's computer to check the oil level prior to changing, but I don't think it used any oil at all. Not even 3000 miles later with the LiquiMoly and I get a low oil warning. I had to add a quart to get it to the max fill line. I was going to try Castrol Edge 0W40 euro oil, but the thread about engine failure has me gun shy. I ordered 9 bottles of BMW oil from FCP and might just continue to use that.
