I absolutely agree that the formula you presented is scientifically based. I just believe the application is more appropriately applied at point values in an engine design, not for the engine as a whole. For example, when designing an engine the torque values at every crank journal are one of...

The last question I will answer is: in order to determine if the oil is providing "better" protection I will need to conduct a UOA of the OEM BMW LL04 5W30 post modification (the oil in the engine right now - installed after the large turbo was replaced) and then compare it to the Redline oil...

Originally Posted by BMWTurboDzl The N57 is lighter than the M57. Off the top of my head that's really the only difference when it comes to the internals. Both power plants are sold at essentially the same power levels. (Ex In the U.S. the N57 makes a tad less hp/more torque than the M57 it...

Originally Posted by 1JZ_E46 Slipstream, HTHS IS viscosity. And it's really the only one that matters. Kinematic 100C viscosity is irrelevant inside an engine, as it is not a measure of an oil's lubrication ability under load (bearings, rings, etc.). Regarding your "bottom line" note, you still...

I can't remember if the turbos were both water cooled or not. I'll have to get back with you on that.

Newer and more advanced engines that use oils like LL04 spec oils at high power output levels are not just a souped up older engine designs. Manufacturers like BMW, Audi, Porsche etc spend MILLIONS of dollars designing and perfecting newer and more powerful engine designs. BMW didn't just take...

Oh my. It never ends. Actually, there have been several posts that have been useful and that I used to determine the direction I needed to go. Those do not include posts that stated there was nothing wrong with LL04 oil because it's used in more powerful cars (as in cars that were designed to...

Look at you two go. Wow! You both can't control yourselves - at all. I wonder which one started crying first. By continuing to post you both only confirm everything I've posted. Once again you two trolls have provided nothing to this discussion. Your tantrums only get more pathetic every time...

One last point before you go away edyvw (you should really just leave) - I started this post, you're a guest in it, so to suggest that by virtue of the fact some of my posts are long that I'm trolling my own post is some of the worst toddler logic I've heard. Take your sad ego and the playground...

As for the length of my posts - definitely a struggle for a mentally challenged, Twitter cripple millennial for sure. Which is the prime reason you and your trolling buddies had such a hard time keeping up with the conversation. I can see the cries of "too many words!" echoed throughout your...

Originally Posted by edyvw Where did I hear this? I have no doubts that now that you have Redline 5W40 in your one of a kind, super-duper, uber BMW 335d, you will be fastest driver in the Lower Alabama. Pathetic, weak and sad as always edyvw. Nope, I'm still in Afghanistan, I just woke up...

First - thanks to the people like CleverUserName and JAG for actually contributing, and doing so generously. Thank you! People like 1Jz, edyvw, bailes1992 and the other clown who trolled my post should just retreat to wherever you came from. You contributed Nothing. None of you provided...

If by "approved" you mean LL04, you have missed the subject edy, and clearly a lot more. You jumped into the middle of a conversation with no point of reference. As the title reads - my car no longer has the equipment that require that spec, it produces a lot more torque (and HP) as a...

And FTR - I've been an Amsoil dealer since 1998, well before they had their Preferred Customer Program. I never sold oil for profit, only for my own use (I got tired of being ripped off by the local Amsoil dealer where I lived at the time - and it was a lot cheaper than full- retail through mail...
