Instead, use GC. AAP has it on sale, 5 qt with a Fram Ultra filter, for $31.99. Don't be fooled by that scary F-word: Ultra is nothing like the evil orange can of death that's ready to haunt you at the end of this month!
A FRAM Ultra for an M5 eh? You obviously aren't familiar with the filter setup on this car.
FRAM lists ONE filter for the S62, and the picture shows it to be a relabelled Hengst.
+1 on the fram comment!
Have you done any uoas with 40 weight? Ive always been affraid to stray from tws...
OP: I'd use M1 0w-40, there are MANY guys using it in the S62, the vast majority of course owning post 03/00 cars like yourself and I, though the odd pre-03/00 owner has indeed experimented with non-TWS lubricants as well.
Yes I did, but it was a winter run so there was some rather insane fuel dilution. I'll try and get one of the PU that's currently in the car (though the weather is getting cold right now) before my winter change to M1 0w-40 again.
