Engine oil MOTUL or ELF

MOTUL Engine oil

I just hit 250,000 miles on my daily driven '95 M3. I've been using Motul 8100 X-CESS 5w-40 for the past 3 years or so. Prior to that, I was using Castrol Edge Euro 5w-30, which was the BMW factory fill. The Motul often comes out still golden. The Castrol always came out black. Didn't need to do an oil analysis to know which one had fewer metal particles.

Pros: Motul oil stays golden
Cons: Castrol oil comes out black
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 250000 km

MOTUL Engine oil

My engine builder recommended what was 300v Power 5w40 at the time and is now 300v Competition 5w40 due to it holding up the best to fuel dilution from ethanol.

Pros: holding up best to fuel dilution
Vehicle: Subaru

MOTUL Engine oil

Motul is the gold standard - the IMSA cars you see with Motul badges really do exclusively use Motul. The shop I work with uses it in classic racing cars that are worth tens of millions.

Pros: gold standard, highest quality

I used the Motul 10w50 fully synthetic. After running it for a few months I happened to check oil level and I was shocked to find out that 500ml had disappeared. This never happened on the stock Royal Enfield oil, nor with the Motul 5100, so I was not used to keep checking oil level religiously. But now I do.

Then I checked YouTube reviews to see if others report oil evaporation or burning off. And yes lot of youtubers report it, but still recommended it!

How can you recommend an engine oil that evaporates or burns off, even if it gives slightly better performance? It's ridiculous.

Pros: slightly better performance
Cons: oil evaporation or burning
