All,

Does anyone see any merit in having a thread where everyone can post up their oil tests/results? I see this thread as being short posts like the following:

Switched from Total Quartz 10w-50 to Castrol TWS 10w-60, new Mahle filter. Good results after first few hundred miles, noticing less oil smoke. Daily driving, rare spirited driving.


There would be no debates or questions about which oil is better, simply a resource thread so those looking for an oil recommendation can see what people are running and what they have experienced.

Changed from olive oil to sunflower oil,no Vanos rattle....

Thank god we do not have enough oil threads...

Thats the point, though. Instead of 500 threads where everyone asks the same question, put all the results in one thread. Now when the question is "what oil should I use?" this thread could be referenced.

Already exists on top of the page..

This is the sticky thread for all questions http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e39-m5-e52-z8-discussion/142633-what-bmw-has-say-subject-oil.html

There's also a thread "Mobil 1 0w40 UOA" which has several member's reports. Not just Mobil 1.

Unless it's a thread with used oil analyses (which are only 80% useless), it doesn't contribute to start a 200 page long thread about individual owners switching oils and experiencing harpsicord music when they next turned the key.

Point taken, haha. Feel free to have a mod nuke this thread if needed.

I run my car on pure cannabis oil

Sure my exhaust my sound like a coughing ashmatic and it may not rev over 3,000 without getting the munchies first, but damn, my car is super laid back.
