Thanks for the tip I just got a 2019 RX 350 with 76k miles, did a Kirkland Synthetic 0w20 oil change since I just got it and was the cheapest I could find with a toyota filer from amazon.
BMW's are known not to be so reliable with high oil temps long term or when being pushed so there's a fearmongering on the oil temps maybe not related to temp itself but maybe due to how the oils that most have used tend to lose their strength at high temps.
For us "tuned" modern bmw engines, the talk and mechanics suggest running a 5w40 for longevity of the motor/parts/seals/pistons/rings etc instead of running a 0w20 which tend to run hotter (better for MPG) as an example. A lot of ppl over the years in the community have turned from 260F oil...
Yes in my case, because the BMW in the inline six run cooler oil temps all the time even in cruising efficient mode. So when you're use to seeing your oil temps at 180-190F max then all of a sudden starts crossing the 215F mark, I had a bad history when my V8 TT 2018 BMW M5 use to run at 230...
Since you abuse the car the right way, what is the coldest temp the oil runs at?
Reason I ask is because when my oil temps start going above 215F its time to dump the oil in my experience
In my BMW i can start going WOT after 150F but I don't like to see it above 220F after having some good...
Was hoping to see this
Let us know how the results look
I'm looking to get Amsoil FS 5w40 Euro or HPL Euro 5w40 for my 700hp X7 M50i (V8 TT) and my 900hp G80 M3 (inline-6) running 1050cc port-injection with 90% of the time E70-E85%
