What Specific Engine Oil Are You Using And Why?

[BA9092]

Liqui Moly TopTec 6600 0W-20.

That's what I've been using too.

From Blackstone report:

I'll stick with it for now. If I decide to tune, I'll go with what my tuner recommends.

Given the result in the report I would say BMW/Toyota knows what is best for their engine
I am tuned and running TopTec 6600 0W-20.

Motul 5W-30

I run Amsoil in everything I have, every vehicle, every motorcycle, anything with an engine that needs oil. even my firearms use Amsoil. I use it because based on UOA (Used Oil Analysis) Itt shows its protecting better then Motul or Mobil one. Especially when I run ethanol. My old boosted FRS with Motul was coming back sheared at 4k miles, with Amsoil Signature at 15k miles the oil was still fine. And my Focus ST 10k+ with no issue, my Mustang GT the same, I'm sending out my first UOA on the Supra, this only has 4k miles on it, but I want to see how its performing. If it comes back that there are no issues ill run the oil to 10k and send off another sample for testing. Right now i currently have Amsoil Euro 5-30 LS but I bought signature 5-30 to replace it. After speaking to my guy he stated since I run E then signature is a better fit. I trust him because he actually went to school to learn this stuff.

Amsoil euro 5/30

For the first few oil changes i plan to run Castrol edge euro 0w-20 in my 2.0. This Castrol edge meets the LL-17 additive package spec and is significantly cheaper than the Toyota and BMW labeled stuff. Once i get some time on the motor and im sure it wont need to go back to the dealer for any random engine work I'll go to 5w-30 for the texas weather.

Motul 0W-20 Eco Lite because that's what the BMW shop I go to uses for all M40i variants and the oil report comes back great even after 8500 miles. Won't see a track or tune until it's out of warranty anyway, and this works perfectly fine for commuter use.

How about Amsoil 5w50?

Motul 5w-30

Where did you find this oil???

I run with pure Wesson oil. My exhaust smells like fried chicken.

I'm running the factory oil currently. Based on some of the mods I've done and am planning on doing, and given that I track the car, I'm switching to the recommended LiquiMoly 5w30. It's sitting in my office waiting for the beginning of August. It's not a daily driver for me but rather a car I take out for fun, so 90% of the time I'm in it I'm driving it hard. That being said, I've always run the appropriate Mobile 1 full synthetic in every fun car I've owned except this one. Did a good job protecting the motor in the E36 M3 I tracked for about 5 years.
