I've been using motul 300v for the last 5k kms, inclined to use the same in the next oil change or will switch to motul 7100.
My tacoma has 352000 miles have always put mobile 1 in it
I've been using this oil on my '17 BMW S1000R (5W40 weight) right after I got the first oil change from the dealership at 1K KM. Bike now has 25K KM and still running like new. Nothing wrong about seals, runs great and shifts have always been buttery smooth. I don't baby the bike, and change the oil once a year since I only do about 3K KM per year. When flushing, it's still red, a tiny bit darker than when I put it in. To me, this an excellent oil and it is much, much cheaper than the OEM BMW one, and it is JASO MA2 specs.
I personally have run Mobil1 0w-30 in my GSR for the past 250,000+ miles, since back in the mid-2000's.
i have a bajaj 200NS and was given same reason in 2015. i didnt pursued furthur and got Motul as it is much better engine oil than crap they use. 33k km later, no issue and i get it serviced outside.
Of course, after I bought it I dropped the oil and ran what I like to run in my cars/trucks which a Mobil Delvac product 5w-30. It’s a synthetic but it’s more used for the heavy duty market. I checked the oil some 4000 miles later and it had a reddish look to it just like yours. After the next oil change I never saw it again.
Yooo this happened to me, have you used a high mileage type of oil? Apparently when they start to burn up they can change to a reddish hue, I went back to normal Mobil 1 and it’s back to gold
Anyhow, BMWs are arctic tested and the mega aluminum blocks can contract to -50C and can still safely start with 0W40. So the key is 7000-10000 kms but mandatory 0w4- or a 5w30 Liqui Molly or Fuchs or motul BEFORE WINTER.
I found Mobil 1 0W-40 to allow a lot more timing chain and lifter noise, especially at startup but even after, then switched to Castrol Edge 5W-40 and the noise suddenly wasn't there. I've used it ever since.
Motul. Really anything except Mobil 1, that shit kills EJ’s.
