Where do you guys get your oil testing done? Preferably something other than Blackstone since I want to try something new…

BMW will never recommend 300V or similar oils bcs. oxidation of such oils is very high. Also, dispersants and detergents are not as present as in regular oils. |

Blackstone gives IMO most clear readings. Just ignore their narrative. |

Here's my first Blackstone+TBN on the Motul 8100 G2 5w40 that I ran for about 3500mi. I'm a bit concerned that Lead is high and they want me to watch for bearing wear/knock. Hmmmmmmmm.
edycol what do you think?

That lead is worrisome. Oil sheared but from my recollection your engine is tuned so it shows drop of 2cst which for 4000 miles in an engine like that ok. Flash point and TBN are indicative of really strong base stock and additive package. But all points that you need to bump viscosity. Maybe that will mitigate lead issue and keep KV100 in check. |

If heavily modified, I would consider Motul 300V 5w-40. I'm running this now that my car is on flex fuel. Just change it every 2.5-3k miles if on full E85

2.5-3k seems excessive. I am on full e85/5k interval and my Blackstone analysis came back clean (posted 2 pages ago). Liqui Moly Molygen

At this 2K/1K dump & fill should I stick with the Xcess 5w40 or step up again to Sport 5w50? I've run out of Xcess so it's no probs to buy 2gal of Sport. I also have 2gal of Red Line 5w40 sitting around (if anyone wants it cheap and is local…) but we discussed sticking to Motul for base stock reasons, and not mixing additives. -TJ

After that bump viscosity. Motul Sport 5W50, 300V, Mobil1 5W50, Redline 5W50. Choose your "poison." |

IMO with ethanol very heavy W40 or better, XW50 is best bet. |

I'll need to run a report again to see how it does, but that's usually why redline and 300v needs more frequent changes on E85. Fcpeuro has lifetime warranty on 300v so I can change more often lol

The 300V has great HTHS but little additives, and it's Ester, so it will oxidize quickly under street use. If running E85 and using Ester 300V on the street I was told by Kratos to change every 1500-1800mi, and for gasoline change at 2-2.5K max. Your LM has plenty of additives and can take the street use much better than Ester (just like BStone said about my 8100 having plenty of additive life left in it).

Seems like the S55 shears oil down easily / fuel dilutes easily. I can't decide which one more than the other or maybe both. Here's my UOA from earlier this year I thought I shared but I guess I didn't.
Castrol 0w40 @ 2100 miles Flash point and viscosity aren't that great (indicates fuel dilution). I did do a lot of shorter trips, frequent WOT runs and numerous canyons runs (likely 1/5th of the miles were canyon runs), but I am also stock tune / with a oil catch can. Besides that the UOA looks fine - I just wouldn't run this oil long either because of the flashpoint/viscosity. Doubt that there will be any issues if I pushed it longer but since I do all the oil changes my self I don't mind (every 1-1.5years). I have Ravenol 0w40 SSL in right now, will run similar mileage and run another UOA to see how this oil did. I've never seen lead in my UOA before for my F8Xs.. I'd monitor that on shorter runs personally. |

my oil change is due very soon,, I'm currently using oil from the dealership 0w-40, is there a equivalent as someone mentioned BMW does not make oil. I rather purchase the oil and filter and do it myself.
