    Very good video regarding oil specs, approvals, "fully synthetic", etc.

    actually misleading since oils discussed in video are NOT Full Synthetic oils but synthetic technology. They are ok and cheap but have high NOACK which doesnt help with when used in DI turbo engines.

    5w50 in place of 10w60 for BMW M3

    good point. I used to be connected with that brand. This why E46, E9x cars had this rev limiter based on engine temperature. 10w60 works fine when engine fully warmed up but in the Winter--- this is asking for trouble which many owners have experienced. 5w50 sounds much better for Winter
