And now that you mention it. I'm yet to hear of anybody using it when doubt this job on an n54/n55. Unless they have. And never said anything about it.

I can't imagine it hurting anything... It would create one extra line of defense from starting/priming the engine with dry bearings.

It would need to be flushed out shortly after a "break in"..
Yes, assembly line and isn't BMW specific or something you need to do only if you are working on a BMW. All engines! I'm sure all mechanics use it. I sure do.
