[QUOTE="meinauto, post: 345375, member: 444"] interesting discussion...just to add a few thoughts Not all 30 weights are the same. IIRC, the 0w-30 Castrol GC from Germany was pretty heavy and close to a 40 weight. Hence if you really want to be sure, compare the Castrol Edge Sport viscosity with a commonly used BMW approved 30 weight oil Another thing which most manufacturers do not state the the HTSC (or something like that) which measure shear at high temps. That would also help you decide between two similarly weighted oils And lastly, if you want to venture into non-BMW approved oils, look for oils with ACEA A3 and if possible API SM, and change more often eg at every 10k kms [/QUOTE]
