I just had a look in the manual for my sister's year 2000 BMW Z3 to see what the recommended oil is - API SH! It does not state ANY other API service classification whatsoever, only SH.
My question is:
How many current API gasoline oils actually have anti-wear additives at the SH levels? I know I have seen where it says on bottle of an SL oil that it meets SH & SG specs., and am wondering if this is true and not just marketing. (motorcycle users etc.) Does anyone know what the anti-wear levels were for the SH spec. way back when?
