    2021 M2 Competition | TPT LL-01FE | ~3000 miles

    @chris719 here is my UOA for my 2020 M2C running QS Euro 5W-40. It’s my daily, but my commute to work is only 15 minutes away via side streets, plus I work from home one day a week, and I’m also driving a GMC pickup and an old Jeep CJ7 that I rotate here in Southern California. I only had 1,528...

    Motul Specific LL-01 FE 5W30 VOA

    I can’t tell if you’re located in the United States or not but LL-04 is not recommended for this area. Here’s Motul’s TDS for its Specific LL-04: https://d23zpyj32c5wn3.cloudfront.net/images/product_descriptions/technical_data_sheets/199/Specific_LL-04_5W-40_(GB).pdf?1597852630 Snippet from it...

    Motul Specific LL-01 FE 5W30 VOA

    Earlier I did a VOA on BMW's Twin Power Turbo LL-01 FE 0W30 SP which appears to be the new Castrol product located here: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/bmw-twin-power-turbo-tpt-0w30-api-sp.340420/#post-5751285 I acquired some Motil Specific LL-01 FE in 5W30 and sent off a fresh...

    BMW Twin Power Turbo TPT 0W30 API SP

    Just recently bought a year old "new" 2020 BMW M2 Comp. Still on the wall about the Twin Power Turbo, but being that I don't track the car, I'm sure it'll be just fine, especially for warranty purposes. I have done the 1,200 break-in service, but I do plan on doing a UOA on the oil at around...

    BMW Twin Power Turbo TPT 0W30 API SP

    I tried to do some searching to see if anyone has posted a VOA of this stuff and it appears no one has. I did a VOA on this stuff fo no particular reason other than to fulfill my own curiosity. Feel free to chime in about it.

    2016 Audi S4 19,200 Miles - Castrol Edge 0w-40

    I do about 80% city driving and 20% highway driving as my work is 4 miles away from home. Try my hardest to always take the long way to work and home to get the engine oil temps as high as possible. Needless to say, I’m probably in the category of “severe driving conditions” and why I am...
