My BMW service / warranty contracts were up in June this year and I despite BMW’s efforts I opted not to extend either.

It was time for an oil change so I went to the guys at Good Speed to see what oil they recommended. I ended up with “M engine and 24 hour Le Mans approved” Motul engine oil. The oil was only a few dollars more than picking up synthetic BMW Castrol from the stealerships. I was informed that the standards of the Motul oil were much higher than the stock stuff. For this reason the Motul would provide greater protection. The guys at Good Speed did say that the stock oil is sufficient, but since the price difference was very insignificant I decided to run with Motul. I figure any potential extra protection for my beloved ESS54 engine is most likely not a bad idea.
