Re: Oil Weights

Hi Everyone,
With all the talk about what oil weights to be using, I figured I would
throw out some TSB info from BMW on the matter.  The bulletin number is
11 08 94 (4139)dated Feb 95.  It states that "Special Oils" currently
approved by BMW are Mobile 1 5W-30 and Valvoline High Performance
5W-30.  This weight is listed as being good from below -20F to above 80F
(-30C - above 30C). This bulletin was a result of cold start problems
when the temp is below freezing. The bulletin was for "all" models.
