What individuals ('most guys') should do is pick an appropriately rated oil (specifications, approvals or licenses) within a recommended grade, and a winter rating that is appropriate for the expected starting conditions. X-Clean EFE carries MB 229.52, X-clean 5W30 carries MB229.51. No, they do not have BMW based on 'issues.' BMW has specific requirements and they formulate oil based on that and then they have to obtain approval from BMW. On top of that, hundreds of thousands of cars require these approvals. There is life outside Walmart, and I buy my oils, for the most part in Walmart. Well, I am writing from the USA, and no it is not boutique oil. They wouldnt care about high saps or low saps or any of that. Here in the USA most guys would grab Mobil 1 5W30 and be done. They have exacting products for certain situations. Its not the $22 for 5 quarts deal at Walmart. Or why have the Xclean and Xclean EFE? The Xlcean is slightly thinner otherwise both seem the same. How is the specific oil formulated for BMW? Are there exacting specifications or is Motul formulating it based on known issues? I wonder to myself why have a specific oil? Some of the other oils in the lineup can go into the BMW. In addition, it is very good oil that has all necessary approvals for category they target their product. I am not sure are they still sponsoring Subaru in WRC but if they do, that is probably one of the longest sponsorship relationships. Im not planning on using Motul but just browsing and looking.
