Feel free to read the oil threads on m5board. Draw your own conclusions based on that sir, not just the little thread on the M3 forum I mentioned above. This is a very heated topic.
Though I do find it rather funny that the guy with the most miles doesn't use TWS, LOL!
Oh, and we've now thoroughly derailed this thread! LOL!
BTW, my oil temps have never even hit 100C. They've gotten close, and I'm sure on the track I could get them up there, but I apparently can't drive it hard enough on the street to get them that high.
It is only a heated topic because no one knows the whole story and the people who have the answers do not frequent the forums.
Your temperature stays below 100C in summer sitting in traffic?
That's exactly it
Nobody really knows. BMW had a spec, changed the spec, put a date on the spec, and that, combined with the history of the development of the lube in question leaves you with a lot of ???? and no solid answers
And of course we don't have S62's failing left,right and centre. And I am one of MANY who aren't using TWS in it.
And yes, sitting in traffic, my oil temps have never hit 100C. Even on a 30+ degree day here.
