Old Oil analysis from my BMW. M1 0w40.

This is back in 2010.

Here are some pics under the valve cover from when I did the VANOS Seals.

More proof that Mobil 1 0w40 is a superior oil.... one of the best in Mobil's lineup.

IMO....with a TBN of 3.8....it is easily a 10K OCI....at least for this vehicle.

And....looking at those "under the valve cover" pics....this oil keeps your engine spotless.

Forgot to add, it uses a Mann cartredge oil filter.

Mobil 1 is a great oil, but let's not forget to give credit to German engineering, Deutschland Uber Alles
