Then why didn’t you fix it bud if you knew what it was. You brought it to the pros BC you didn’t know. See we laugh at people like you that send us a car and tell us what’s wrong with it. Then why did you bring it in.

You better do a little homework and get into the nitty gritty on BMW M5 and M3 rod bearing failures with 10w60 oil.

You THINK you know, but the fact is you really don’t. I know what the problems are as they are talked about with engineers that come to the dealership and give the input

I love when people think they read all these car forums and they try to come in to the dealer and tell us what the problem is.

Are you a BMW tech or are you a forum reader?

It has to do with the rod bearing clearance and rod side clearance wasn’t enough for a 60 weight oil.

Engineers have said rod bearing clearance, connecting rod side clearance and 60 weight oil was the problem.

It’s the 60w weight causing not the 10w

0w30 does best in them.

You don’t know what happens in this business so there for keep your pie hole shut. I talk to actual engineers everyday. So again keep your pie hole shut. Not everyone wants to stay at one place forever. You don’t get knowledgeable that way. Me and a few others move on together as a team as most...

Yeah I’ll tell you why. I don’t want to specialize in just one manufacturer. I want to know all of them. I stay 4 years max if that. Get the knowledge and roll on to the next one.

Do you work or have worked in any dealership?

10w60 is what causes the rod bearing failures on the m3/m5 as its way to thick of an oil. that’s also 10w60 not 0w20. Big difference. We don’t carry any 0w20 at the dealership im at. Parts tells people that come in looking for it to buy and change their own oil that we do not use the 0w20 we...

Do you or have you worked in any dealership?

It’s like that at all dealerships bud, oil does not come in drums, the drums are filled by a truck that comes around and pumps oil into that drum or tote. Just bc it’s labeled as that doesn’t mean that’s what’s in there. It’s pumped from a small tanker truck that has different compartments with...

Majority of people know the difference. When you say you work for whatever manufacturers you work for.

Just bc the part number is in the RO does not mean it was used. The parts department or service advisor has those numbers in front of them for an oil change. It’s standard practice. Oil also does not come in drums.

Why are you being cocky?

So it does not work like your thinking in the dealer world, first engineers don’t write the owners manuals, nor set the intervals for lubricants. In the service manual there is a whole lot more info than the public gets to see as well. Majority of the BMW clientele don’t want to know about...
