MOTUL Sport 5W40

Anyone here run this in their S63TU? This is a full ester based Synthetic and should well outperform that BMW uses from factory for our M Cars.

Just hit 44k and sent my oil out for Black Stone Oil Analysis.

Depending on what the report comes back with might use this at next oil change.

How long do you keep your car?

In South Florida - I do think a 5W-40 is good choice. But I am also a believer in OCI at 5-6K miles. Motul is a great brand. If out of warranty I would choose Redline's thick 5W-30 or possibly the 5W-40 depending on your type of driving.
.
I have the N55 in my M235i and choose PP EURO 5W-40 and leaning toward RL 5W-30 post due to the all ester -- which as you know is superior in handling the heat.
.
If you plan on keeping the car less than 100k then simply follow BMW standard intervals with any LL-01 oil.

Buy 9 QTS

8.5 liters or 9 qts with some debate - but I am sure you can put in 8.5 liters and check the level. Some just put in 9 liters and call it a day.

Thicker oil noticed less consumption. I can only assume with 10W60 the consumption will be non existent lol

That's what I hear.. at the same time these engines need thicker oil. 5w30 is simply crap

Do you mean Motul 300V 5w40?
I have used it in my F10 M5 and i truly believe it is a very good oil.
Only limitation here, that this oil is not a long-life type oil and depend on usage on road, the maxmimum oil change intervall, which i suggest is 8.000 km. If tracked heavily, than might be maximum 2.000 - 3.000 km. Oil analyses can prove the longetivity of change intervall anyway.
Motul 300V 0w40 is also a very good oil, in my F13 M6 i am using BMW M Performance 0w40 il (aka SHell Pureplus) with 10.000 km change interval.

If you can effort the more frequent oil change intervall (5k - 8k than 10 or 12k), than Motul 300V is a fantastic oil to choose.

Just wondering if you ended up using the motul 5w-40. Im debating on using motul 0w-40 or 5w-40.

This is a perfect topic. I'm out of warranty too and I'm using:

Liqui Moly 2332 LEICHTLAUF High Tech 5 W - 40

There are some different versions of this, but I'm open to other options.
