Rotella T4 15w-40 in my E32 735iL. Been running the E30 on the same oil for 6 years and the E32 for two. They both seem to like them, so I don’t see any need to change things up.

Pros: seem to like them

Vehicle: BMW

As much as I love to use Mobil One, I am going to stick with Castrol because VW dealership won't give me any credit for the Castrol in exchange for the Mobil one.

Vehicle: Volkswagen Phaeton
