cvl,
Where did you get the specs? Man, I could find only this much information . A friend of mine who competes in Mazda Miata Challenge (?) will try MOTUL 0w20 soon. It'd be very interesting to see what kind of oil pressure he will see.....
I don't what year model your BMW is, but I'd look for BMW LongLife-01 approval mark. The following oils will meet & exceed that requirement:
Mobil 1 0w-40
GC 0w-30
I bet there are a lot more than those two, but I can't think of other than two right now. I believe BMW LL-01 requirements are:
1...
I use MOTUL RBF 600 on my rally car. This stuff is really amazing. It gives a rock sold pedal feel. My street vehicle, Trans Am gets MOTUL 5.1. MOTUL 5.1 is Non-Silicon based 100% synthetic fluid and also much much cheaper than RBF 600.
Check out this WRC Oil 15W-50 . It is made by MOTUL and it carries official Subaru STi approval. However, it is only available in Japan. It looks like $100 USD/4 liter
Who makes stainless steel exhaust flanges? I am trying to build a 2.5" or 3" custom exhaust. I don't care if it is 2 bolt or 3 bolt pattern. 3/8 thickness would be very nice! I hate rusty exhaust systems more than anything else
If anyone knows suppliers and their web sites, please post it here...
I am trying to get rid of overstocked German Castrol. My local UPS & FedEx are giving me a hard time. They are telling me that I can not ship motor oil becasue it is considered to be hazardous material Is this true or BS? I am wondering how Amsoil dealers ship their oil. Thanks.
Motorbike,
The Topic says 'Motul E-Tech 10-40'. Isn't this Motul 8100 E-tech 0W-40? Not 10w-40
If this is Motul E-Tech 0w-40, it is very interesting to see how much this VOA is different from VOA reported by Ferrari. Ferrari's VOA say no moly and half amount of calcium...
There is another UOA of 300V 5w-40. I made a mistake on Topic. The Top should've been MOTUL 300V 5w-40, 2002 WRX, 3400 miles

Dr. T,
It has to be synthetic. Please go to this link and click BMW. You will see the requirements for BMW Long-Life 01. One of requirements is that Designated Base Oil must be Chemical synthetic oil.
I hope this helps.
I used a similar stuff called, MotorSilk It is Boron CLS Bond additive like LuBoron. I think LuBoron and MotorSilk are identical since their MSDS data are exactly the same (same stuff in bottles with different labels). I used on my turbo Talon for 2000 miles. Unfortunately, I didn't do UOA...
