    Came across this in the Australian version of the MKV GR Supra (B58 engine) manual:

    87 oct. No tune, but have been thinking about getting an OTT tune though.

    Every day, approx. 35 miles each way on the highway. Not slow either :)

    The last few samples were taken cold. What else could cause the issue? I don't idle very much. My only thought is fuel getting in the oil the few minutes it takes the pull the Taco into the garage while its cold.

    I sampled cold which I think is the fuel dilution issue. I drive 90% highway about 35 miles each way to work so not sure what else could cause it other than the cold sampling.

    Latest sample. I forgot to take a sample from the drain plug so I sampled while draining the oil filter housing. This run is with the newest M1 0W-40 that has the LL-01 approval. I went back to M1 5W-30 since gas mileage did suffer some. I think its a happy medium between the 0W-20 and 0W-40...

    Motul 8100 X-Cess Gen 2 5W-40, 2000mi, 2020 Toyota Supra

    How so? The moly slowly goes down as break in lubes decrease. Viscosity increases as previous 0w-20 decreases.

    To add, my MPG has gone down some (about 2mpg) with the 0W-40. Thicker rear diff fluid may also be playing a part since I changed that at the same time as the engine oil.

    Latest report. Trying to get a good trend going. Sample taken cold. Fe dropped quite a bit which is good. This is with standard M1 5W-30. I switched M1 0W-40 FS for S&G from this change and will do another analysis. I may switch back depending on how it goes.

    BMW B58 Engine Oil Recommendation

    Sorry to bump an old thread as OP, but since Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 is now LL-01 approved, would there be any benefits/disadvantages to switch over Motul X-Cess Gen2 5W-40 (other than price)? Motul is what I have been running for the last few changes and have UOAs. Driving type hasn't changed. Thanks!

    BMW Hypoid Axle Oil G4 Equivalent?

    That is my confusion. Does G4=GL-5 or GL-4 (or both)? Is BMW's G rating not equivalent to the API rating? Motul 90 PA is good for both GLs.
