Pentosin Engine oil

I use Pentosin Pento HP II fully synthetic Euro Spec 5w-40 oil (made by Fuchs Oil in Germany). According to test data I have read it is a much better oil than the Mobil 1 oil. I believe that the 5w-40 oil provides greater protection against oil vaporization, as the OM642 can run at elevated temperatures leading to high oil temperatures, which tends to break down the oil sooner.

Pros: better than Mobil 1, greater protection, resists vaporization

Pentosin Engine oil

Pentosin is fine, Mobil 1 is fine, Castrol, whatever. I put Mobil 1 in my racecar but castrol in my daily because it burns oil and I want a heavier weight that I can't find Mobil 1 in. Pentosin or LiquiMoly are good, but don't put too much thought into it.

Pros: Pentosin is fine
Vehicle: BMW
