bmw e87, n43 1600 cc..remember me from that topic...

motul 8100 vs castrol new edge M​

you answered me to choose castrol edge 5-30 M..you think 0-30 is better? is it the one that US fellows like?

searched more in the internet and found out that these two 0-30 are the same oil but it seems that from the end of 2018 lost VW and BMW approvals. maybe it has been reformulated.specs are the same though.

They are not the same oils.
0W30 in Europe is C3.
0W30 here is A3.
Any of those oils you chose will be fine!

thank you for your answer.from what i have read in bitog, ,and specially from your lips," 0-30 is more sofisticated" . i have good memory

and with a synthetic base ,better oil base with pao , than the 5-30 which has no synthetic pao base just oil group 3 hydrocracked..

I use C3 in my Mercedes Bluetec. C-3 and LL are the best bang for the buck as far as 229.51.
FST has MB 229.51 and BMW Longlife-04 approval.
M is MB 229.52 and BMW Longlife-04 approved.
If looking for oxidative thickening resistance and improved fuel economy, M is "better" on paper.
If you need MBW approval, FST or M have it.

Is this C3 BMW LL-04 oil a good choice for a heavily tuned BMW S63 engine?

It’s ok, it wouldn’t be my first choice. I’d want as high of an HTHS as reasonable with S63 tuned. It has occasional rod bearing issues stock.

Skip it. Stick to W40 oils.

 

[svenson]

but Castrol EDGE 5W-40 M​

is a W40 oil

Didn’t pay attention to it. Generally, if not 0W40 or 0W30 Castrol, I look elsewhere for W40. Their 5W40 oils are one step below their 0W, LL01 or LL04.
