My point is that bcs. M1 has such strong additive pack it does produce bit more SAPS. Porsche, MB, VW think it is ok to use in their DI engines as it has their approvals and VW is not as good in ventilating crank as BMW is. I mean, I use it in my N52. It is port injected though. |

Here is a UOA with Motul 5w-40 Xcess Gen 2 (latest run) vs Motul 300V 5w-40 (former run) on some hard canyon driving (no track).
I was quite disappointed with the results of the Xcess Gen 2. I tried to run the same mileage and similar amounts of hard driving between both oils, but my wear came in at 2x to 3x on Gen 2 compared to the 300V. I think this goes to prove oil does matter if you push the car in the canyons and you are tuned. Needless to say I'm staying with 300V, Redline or HPL oils from now on.

You are overthinking.
That doesn't mean anything. Some oils will have more iron shed firs time using. In the end, UOA is designed to analyze oil not engine. Another thing, you don't have TAN. TAN is key if you using oil like 300V. |

edycol I saw in one of your previous posts you said the best oil to use for BMWs was:
LL01 approval in this order: Motul X-Cess 5W40 GEN2 Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W40 Valvoline European Vehicle 5W40 Is this still true for F8x with S55? |

I ask because I purchased some to try based on posts here, but now reassessing as maybe most Motul Spot recommendations were made assuming the car is tuned. |

Still, oxidation will be bit higher so 5k interval is good way to go. Motul is really good in controlling oxidation, so wouldn't worry about that interval. |

RL 5W30 Performance is good choice for vehicles that are running track more than street. Just be careful with OCI. Don't push it.
