BMW 5W30 to liquid molly
So got liquid molly 5W30 put in last week, and something I noticed first day was the temp now goes between the 1st qtr line and half way temp mark under hard driving for a couple min. With the bmw oil my M5 would only just creep above the qtr line on temp gauge. Anyone know reason for this?

I believe this has to do with the liquidation. Different oils react to different situations. I personally went with 5W-40.

The new BMW 5w-30 is actually a very good oil. Excellent TBN, a very low volatility or Noack of around 6, (evient of a very good base stock which we believe is Shell's GTL product.) The BMW 0w-30 is more interested in fuel economy and the BMW 5w-30 will protect your motor better. If the oil you're using has a double digit Noack, there are better oils out there to be had.

I just don't like the way my oil temp gauge goes higher than I've ever seen it go before. Even when cruising on 95 at 80mph. I always thought the cooler the engine the better for it and better for power?

I wouldn't be happy with that and would go back to the oil I was satisfied with.The 0-30 Edge titanium that I use stays just above the quarter dot mark.
