also most car makers use mobile 1 because it is easy to get and very well know brand and like you say it is 100% safe for any kind of engines.
but BMW in other couturiers don't use mobile 1.

No doubt!!
But just too much choices on the market and mobile 1 doesnt come cheap.
I am a strange guy, i cant feel any differences every time after i changed the oil on my E60,
no matter mobile 1 gold label, or the one AK use
Maybe more difficult to feel in larger cc engine??
I use motul 300V on my old MRS,
it does has huge difference though,
the engine is definitely quieter and pick up faster

my mate (You saw in the repulse bay) is going to get S2000, maybe before the end of this year.
He is looking for un-modded S2000,
what things he should look at in mechanical way? Any well known problems for S2000?

My Ride: e60 525i 2005 with:
H&R sway bar, K&N air filter, sprint booster I, split-fire coil, Ferodo Brake pads, M-tech kit, black shadowline (thanks Ricky)
Pending : 19' Advan Racing RS with Re-0011 tyre + Koni-FSD with Eibach Sport spring
Looking for ?exhaust ? Denson 500 for ipod
actually, doctors are cheaper than Designers, haha.
But i think Ferrari or Lambo are "too too too" expensive for me, even 2nd hand.
For porsche, i think it might be affordable for 2nd hand and fun for driving when compare the Ferarri and Lambo. (just dreaming
to buy one)
For engine oil, i feel Mobile 1 is OK. I would try Petronas next time, which i used in my harrier before and i felt it is good.

for my old e60 I used 4 kinds of oil
ultraman good start to thicken at 7k $280 4L
ultraman was good and cheap, the feeling is smooth and quite.
Lubrolene SUPER RACING REVO G-SPEC very good start to thicken at 10k about $680 4L
REVO G-SPEC is the best out of the 4 but at a cost

shell is ok but it starts to thicken at 3k about $580 4L

mobile 1 is not good start to thicken at 1k about $580 4L
