    Default Egads, dont be using oil addatives!

    are you using a synthetic oil now? If not I would recommend it, flows faster when cold even compared to conventional oil and a few people have claimed that it quited the vanos up a bit on startup.

    The Lubro-Moly 5W-40 and Castrol RS 0W-40 are both fully Synt.

    I was thinking about trying out Motul 300V Competition 15W-50?!

    Default I run 15w50 in my 95 525i

    Can you get regular Mobil1 15W50? I run it year round in mine and do not suffer from lifter noise....
