I know people like Redline bcs. you know exotic oil, etc. but seriously, you would be better running that Castrol Edge 0W30. Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W40 is very, very thin 40 grade. Some VOA show actually in 30 grade when fresh. That is really good oil.
I mean, by all means try Redline, but do UOA at 5k including TAN measurement.

I appreciate all the insight.
Please let me know if you can find the specs for the OEM BMW Twin Power Turbo 0W30, I'd be curious to know how that compares.
Thanks! |
There is VOA somewhere here. Nothing special. KV100 in mid 10's, probably HTHS around 3.
TPT 5W30 on other hand looks really good. Similar KV100 but HTHS has to be minimum 3.5. So that is definitely good oil.
