Hello:
Order of oil reports; 2014 = Motul 300V 5W-30 EsterCore, 2013 = German Castrol 0W-30, 2011 = Motul 300V 5W-40 (whatever it was called before EsterCore).
Amazing how similar the viscosities are for the latest Motul 300V 5W-30 and the German Castrol 0W-30 (this was indeed German Castrol, not Belgium).
My BMW seemed to like this latest Motul 300V 5W-30 EsterCore the best.
I also included a VOA of the Motul 300V 5W-30 EsterCore so you can compare it to the UOA. Oil for UOA and VOA was from the same batch.
By the way, I use German-made Hengst air and oil filters.
Enjoy,
Scott
