Castrol 10W-60 TWS Available at O'Reilly Auto Parts
Just an FYI...saw this over on the M3forum => http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=496225
Looks like the replacement Shell 10W60 oil have a "M TwinPower Turbo" label - wondering if this is the new recommended oil for the S54 as well |

Well- even with the 10W60 oil the rod bearings are needing replacement down the road. Whether or not this occurs slower with the 10W60 than the original spec'ed oil... Who knows?

Here's an even better deal for Liqui Moly.. 7 liters (he says "quarts" at one point in his ad - not correct) + Mann filter for only $67 bucks, free shipping. That's an "extra" liter as 6 does the job in the S54...

I've used both Mann & Mahle and have seen the difference in construction. Mann advertises "metal free" as if that's an advantage - Mahle would have you believe their design is superior. I suspect that either is up to the task, neither one is a bargain-basement brand and both have a good rep. I haven't had any issues with the size of the Mann.
