Hi all,

I have a 2016 M5 and the manual states to only use 0w40 BMW Longlife-01 / FE. As an alternative, 0w-30 may be used.

I live in Northern California (hottest ~105f, coldest ~30f)

So far, I see that Motul 8100 X-MAX 0W40 looks like a good option. Anyone else have any input on other brands? What about filters?

Why are different years of M5's allowing 5w40 as well but not 2016?

Thanks,
Raz
