off to Blackstone with great results. I only switched to LM 5W40 due to the fact that I'm managing 3 BMW's and 2 of them are high mileage and have weeping OPG's. LM's UV dye helps track weepage. |

I have used liqui moly stuff in all of my BMWs, to include when new. I use the Ceretec (every 20k miles is the recommendation IIRC), Jectron fuel system cleaner every 2.5k miles, and the engine flush every 20-30k miles.

What do we think about Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5w-40? Its probably the closest to the BMW branded oil since it comes form Pennzoil and is LL-01

I probably would have gone with M1 0w40. I have been a default M1 guy for ~20 years. But when I got the F80 I went with Castrol 0w40. The main reason I went with that was it had been on the LL01 cert list, and I am still under warranty. Its no longer listed ( as M1 is no longer listed ) I might flip back to M1. Just avoid the 0w30 FE variants.
