    Very good video regarding oil specs, approvals, "fully synthetic", etc.

    actually misleading since oils discussed in video are NOT Full Synthetic oils but synthetic technology. They are ok and cheap but have high NOACK which doesnt help with when used in DI turbo engines.

    5w50 in place of 10w60 for BMW M3
