+1. YuP(!), that is what I noticed vs Mobil-1 0w40 LL-1 oil.

I use German made Castrol RS Edge 0w40 LL-4 oil. Two needle width cooler oil temps. You have to be real carefull with Castrol bc they have a ton of different oils with simular names. I believe the RS Edge is now being called: Castrol FST Edge 0w40 LL-1. FST = Fluid Strength Technology

I'm still buying Castrol RS Edge 0w40 LL-4 oil until I can not find it anymore!



PS: for our EU members... this is where I buy my oil from. They sell the BMW oils for far cheaper than any dealer! 5 euros per liters vs 20 or 33 euros at the dealer!

Looks like I will be buying GC FST for my next oil change...
