Sure, Amazon carries it, and with subscribe and save, the pricing is OK.
Redline is always expensive, but has a ton of Moly, is an ester based lube which Id think would be good for DI, and has low NOACK.
It claims to be ok for BMW LL-01, not that it carries an actual approval.
Its a few $ more / qt than the Pennzoil. But its easy to get from lots of places.
Why wouldn't I want to run it in my low mileage 135i (N55)?
The regular RL 5w30 or the RL Euro 5w30?
Regular would be choice I guess.
How easy is it to 'scope your intake valves?
The mid-SAPS nature of Euro RL 5w30 may lend itself to less deposits in DI. I have both, along with RL 5w540, to try once out of warranty. And some RP HPS. And Mobil 1 5w50 and 15w50.
What about RLI?
