Neither you nor I know what is best for our engines (and the RP and Amsoil people don't know 'cause they haven't tested them.)

What we do know is that BMW requires us to use approved lubricants if we want to assure that our warranty stays intact.

Use my maple syrup and Paulaner blend for all I care but don't come back here crying when the dealer has refused warranty service because you can't prove that you used approved oils at every oil change.
