i realise that to someone as ill informed as you (i and most others on here must appear very knowledgable), however no need for the insults after all thats the whole idea of the forum to share info, keep reading the posts and who knows one day even you may be in a postion to offer some constructive advice (however i wont hold my breath)

sorry old chap i wasnt insuting you i was being factual, you were talking rubbish, your claim that bmw /audi design there engines so as as to burn oil to remove the "crud" (your words) is frankly ridiculous engines as ive said before engines only burn apprecable amounts of oil if theres bore /ring , guide/seal /turbo wear or problems with the crankcase breathing, and a thingy called the oil filter removes the "crud." no manufacturer in this day and age design a engine to burn oil.

Phone BMW and ask them why there newer cars need to be topped up between services. It's not because they have worn engines as you suggest.

Actually old bean, its well known in performance circles that high performance variants of standard cars such as Audi's RS4 and BMW M5 burn a modest amount of oil in between services as a matter of course - its even documented in the handbooks and certainly not a problem with any of the engines

Neither of the resultant oils occur naturally, so both can reasonably be termed "Synthetic", however oils made by the latter method are arguably modified mineral oils rather than full synths. Though it's doubtful if your engine can tell the difference. Incidentally, the API standards have nothing to do with whether an oil is synthetic or not.

One of the new Castrol Edge oils is actuallly labeled "Edge Sport for M powered performance engine Bmws".And as i've said Bmw will put a litre in the boot when you buy one because it's expected to use oil. |
