N54 5k OCI

I agree . My N54 is running very strong at over 100k. Changing the oil often is very important in an N54 due to fuel dilution inherent in a DI car. The high heat and poor PCV design also contributes. So find the cheapest LL-01 which is usually M1 0W-40 and OCI at 5k. Although, I have been running RL 5-30 for the past 2 changes. GC is really good just more $. I just like the 6% NOACK that RL provides.

In fact , my 07 runs so good -- I am having a hard time deciding on what my future replacement will be.
