Engine oil PENNZOIL or MOTUL

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 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.

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.

Grab a good quality 0/w20 synthetic. I'm currently using Pennzoil and a Fram filter.

I run Pennzoil ultra platinum oil and GM syncromesh trans fluid

Ultra premium is the best oil after amsoil, but amsoil is too expensive for this car, pennzoil is the best and cheap

I've been using penzoil platinum

I’ve used nothing but Pennzoil Platinum since the free oil changes ran out, 150k or so now, and never had a problem.

Motul Xclean. I've read on this that Motul Xcess on FA20 makes more carbon buildup on Piston

I used Valvoline synthetic in my first SHO, and I am using Mobile 1 in my latest SHO. I tried Pennzoil in my 5.0 (Windsor) and all the lifters started clattering.
