I can't find any recent information about Pentosin online. Fuchs which had bought Pentosin a few years back looks like phasing out Pentosin brand. |

I have another car that I bought two years ago, a 330i that was completely silent, then after I did an oil change it started ticking. Prior owner's service records indicate that BMW branded oil was used before. |

I think there was an issue with using gas-to-liquid which the Mobil-1 0W40 supposed is adding.
I do not remember for certain, but I think the HTHS number came down. Anyway I am running VW 502/505 Castrol Edge 0W40 for all our cars (easier that way). I am debating whether to 0W40 in place of 0W20, too. Looks like the Castrol Edge 5W40 which is LL01 is now cheaper at $24.xx at Walmart. IMO Audi engines kick BMW balls across the board. Even the EA888 is a better engine than the N20. |

You can compare the relative performance of the different specs here:
https://online.lubrizol.com/relperftool/pc.html I would be happy running anything that meets either LL01, MB-Approval 229.5 or VW 505. |
