I still wonder if anyone with connections to shell can verify if 3.8 hths is legit.

Never mind I lied, I found a bunch of threads about it being reformulated to SN+ specs in 2019. So likely those 2016 numbers were inaccurate for today's specs.

I really hope so because that would be awesome if it was. But back in in 2016 the HTHS rating was 3.6 and think it was also GTL back then as well and I am unaware of any reformulations so that's why I have some slight suspicions.

Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys knew if the HTHS rating for pennzoil platnium euro has changed over the years, I know back in 2016 quattro pete said the HTHS was 3.6, but today I got an email back from pennzoil regarding the HTHS number and this is what they said: So it seems that the...

Compromising and going to a 60 weight is called a bad idea not a compromise. Have you seen those needle injectors for the valvetronic system? They are extremely proned to clogging when crap oil is used, or oci's are too high. Bmw switched to LL01FE which on their TPT which apparently is even...

On old M engines that were made for it, sure. But on new M engines like the s55 or n55 in the m2 bad idea, because it is so thick the clearances especially on start up may not be sufficent leading to wear and tear. Especially if you look at the needle injectors for the bmw vavletronic system...

I love this new forum, so much more modern like all of the new bmw forums. I especially love that you finally added an alerts area for threads finally. This is a really nice breath of fresh air.

One last thing to ask. Is motul xcess 5w40 gen 2 worth it over pennzoil platnium euro being it is 3X more expensive and I am only getting 0.2 higher HTHS? Also I would love to see some used oil analysis on the motul.
