When it comes to your engine no such thing as being over obsessive definitely worth all the time it takes to find the right one.

Here in Germany, Castrol simply replaced their old versions: Castrol EDGE Sport 10W-60 & Castrol EDGE 10W-60 Titanium FST with the new " Castrol EDGE SUPERCAR 10W-60 ".

Smoother how? I'm struggling to figure out which is best, I nearly don't give a damn about price I want the best stuff for my engine. I live in moderate North California climate that rarely dips below freezing but can hit 110F plus in the summer.

Bo McGillacutty I get you dilemma, I work in Qatar and in winter it dips to 16/18oc, in summer it hits 50oc !, been using liqui moly 10w/ 60 . Im returning back to the UK and the car will go with me , should I switch oil in the UK climate?

Supercar Qatar From the reading I've done your probably fine with that in either climate, maybe the best available. I suspect proper warm up, frequent oil changes (no way I'm going to let oil run 15k miles as BMW requires, 5k or less for me) and reasonable operating practices are more crucial. But I'm no expert, try'n to sort it out. I hate that it doesn't have a dipstick, I want to LOOK at my darn oil and measure it the old fashion way....all the tech instruments are great but not entirely sufficient. If I add half a liter I want to see it on the dip stick, if I'm driving 1000 miles I want to SEE the oil consumption and top it up. Pardon the rant.

I've tried both and it feels like the car loved Liqui Moly - at first. But it feels like it broke down much faster than the Castrol.

The one we can find on ECS or what other BMW tuning shops would use for our E9X M3 is Castrol Edge "Supercar" 10w-60 as you mentioned. The back of that oil specifically says "API SN, SAE 10W-60. Approved for BME M models, Koenigsegg engines, VW 501 01/505 00"

Haha, I went through the same stress and research as you. Websites were confusing with TWS and Supercar. Ended up messaging Castrol and they confirmed Supercar is the correct replacement. Also says on the bottle for BMW M cars.

Get your oil analyzed. The E92 is really susceptible to pre mature rod bearing failure. I use Amsoil for the German cars. 5w40 ESP. great info.

Very well said. I do the same. I recommend anyone living in colder climates to get off the TWS bandwagon. There are lawsuits pending against BMW for the S65 rod bearing failures. They will not change their recommendation at this point as it would make them culpable in the suit. I have over 75k on my E92 M3 with perfect black stone numbers

I have used this in an E46 m3 with 120,000 klms on it in tropical Australia since the supply of Castrol 10w -60 TWS dried up from the BMW main dealer but it is very hard to know what brand of oil is best in the long term. The container states that it has koenigseggs approval amongst others and as the oil is the life blood of an engine then their approval must mean something as their engines put huge demands on the oil so they would be unlikely to use an inferior oil and destroy their super car reputation?

Get off the TWS. It was developed years ago when oil tech was not at the level they are at today. TWS in colder climates is the main reason for rod bearing failures in S65 and S85. You go to the forums it will confuse you all the more. When it comes to oil there are two things and ONLY two things that matter: group base and additive package. If your in a colder climate switch to Mobile 1 0W40 FS (its the factory fill for Porsche 911 GT3) TWS is way too thick and has very poor flow state when the temps drop into the 30s. Our rod bearing clearances are way too tight for TWS on a cold start. Drain your oil now! My E92 has 75K with perfect black stone analysis numbers.

I am putting in this weekend a Red Line 5w50 instead of the 10w60. Car is a 2001 BMW M Roadster s54 engine in Southern California. I am convinced it will help with tighter clearance, warm up faster and still keep properties while demanding up there.

Supercar edition is the same as normal TWS, it’s just branding. Playing with names. And it’s not new any more. BTW Castrol is the worst thing you can pour into your engine. The worst oil I have ever experienced.

Correct me here--my understanding is that if you have the newer version of rod bearings, aluminum based, then the Blackstone test is pretty much worthless since there will be a high background of aluminum regardless. It's only useful (and then even crucial) with the older copper/lead based bearings. I forget what year they switched bearing type, maybe 2011? And what about oil pressure, is that at all useful in determining rod bearing condition?
@ShiftedPerspective
6 жыл бұрын
You're right I have aluminum based bearings which were used in 2011 and later. Most guys still do blackstone to keep an eye on it. I will be doing the same. My understanding is that the newer bearings help, but not 100% proven to prevent the issue.
