Gotta say the new Redline 0W40 is looking better every day for my BMW. I'm in the RX rinse phase with Shell Helix Ultra 5W40 (PP Euro 5W40), which is ester and PAO free. This engine has had M1 0W40 changed every 5,000 miles (8,000kms) during it's life (75,000kms). I didn't expect RX to do much but the results have made me seriously rethink going back to M1 0W40. Also BMW stealerships have just moved from M1 0W40 to Castrol Edge 0W40.
