Engine oil
Guys - similar to the recent M models, is the owners manual of your F90 vague about oil viscosity and direct you to the sticker under the hood/bonnet of the vehicle?
In my 2017 M2, US model, it's 0W-30 for the recommended oil. What does the US M5 recommend? Thanks!!!! |

I really don't think anyone would notice any difference. I am sure your manual will advise either can be used. There will be a slight viscosity difference at elevated temperatures but not too much more than that and it is probably comes down to 95% marketing and 5% technical. The Shell 40 is being marketed as being great for twin turbos and even M. That enables it to be sold at a premium price.
