on the Nürburgring

I didn't check it when I was going at 240km/h but the fuel economy average for the whole trip (650km of autobahn and 2 laps on the Nürburgring) was 11,8/100km (20mpg) On the Autobahn my max speed was 257km/h but most of time I was between 160 and 220km/h because there is a bit of trafic and rain.

I think the Aral supertronic 0w40 LL04 is equal to the Castrol Edge 0w40 LL04 and equal to the BP Visco 7000 0w40

From my side I had 4 experiences with the Ring Taxi (as passenger), one time with a pro driver but I forget his name in a Porsche 911 turbo S , two times with the "Queen" yes, Sabine Schmitz (one time with M5 e39 and one time with M5 e60) and one time with Tiff Nedell during a special event on...

Yes, but you have to book them a long time before you go on the Nürb because if you wait too much before the day you go on the track there will none available. But there are independant rent compagnies all around the nurb where you can also rent a car but you have to add addittional insurance...

You have to test it once in your life ! It's a magical experience, I go on this track once a month, but not with my car, I rent cars like 911 GT3 RS, M4 GTS, M5... this time I will test my personnal car. When Sabine Schmitz was working for the ring, I took several laps with here in a M5 ring taxi

Here in Germany lot of people criticize the new formulation because the percentage of POA is lower than the previous version, but for me it's still a very good oil. Actually I run the Original BMW MTwinPower 0w40, it has 5000km, and next week I will go to the Nürburgring Nordschleife for 4 or...

Sorry I did 2 mistakes during the post The Flashpoint is 239°C and not 229°C, and the Titan value is 152mg/kg not 52

That's done yesterday, here the values : Viskosität bei 40 ° C (mm² / s) 74.3 Viskosität bei 100 ° C (mm² / s) 13.2 VI-Viskositätsindex-Berechnung 181 TAN (mg KOH / g) 2.8 TBN (mg KOH / g) 9.9 Sulfatasche (%) 1,12 Flammpunkt offenes Gefäß (° C) 229 NOACK (%) 8,3 P - Phosphor (mg / kg) 952 Zn...

Yes, very hard, that took me almost 5 months to find this configuration (without xdrive)

Yes it's an oil cooler. the 30th april I will go to the Nürburgring to run several loops, I will also take the BMW M5 Ring Taxi with a professional driver, it will be fun. I will post the pictures here.

I'm waiting for a VOA too, I sent a sample of Edge 0w40 to a lab that I bought in a autopart store near my office.

it's on the back of the bottle but I don't know why on the 5w30 version, the Dexo² logo is stamped on the front

Here the Edge 0w40 LL04 Dexos². You can find it in any auto part store but difficult to find it on german web sites, it's curious.

There are lot of versions When you buy on on any website or directly on a shop you cannot know which version is.. You can just know that it is a LL01 or a LL04, It seems that several 0w40 LL04 exist, same as the LL01 version. Castrol are so complicated.... I regret a lot the old version, the...

So the UOA are just a good way to know how an oil keeps its specs during its life and not to know the engine health
