I live in a remote area and I order my oil online, I normally run Liqui Moly Molygen 5w50 in my BMW N20, it is well out of warranty. I thought I had oil but I don't and I have to drive about 1500 miles in the next week and I am right at my OCI; I had planned to do it today.
All i can find local is various 5w30 and the Motul atv10w50. I prefer to stick to the heavier weight. I know that atv oil has something for wet clutches but I dont know what it is and what harm, if any, it would do in a car. I have also read that atv oils should have more detergents so maybe it would be a good cleaning oil?
I googled all this before coming here with no luck so I apologize in advance if this is common knowledge i just couldn't find.
