So does this mean that we are done with this (mild) flame fest?! Hopefully so. If I offended anyone, it was not my intention.

Bottom line, Rick L and I agree that for 99% of cases M1 0w-40 is a better oil for BMW apps than 15w-50, we arrive at our conclusion for different reasons.

people explode over a simple detail in my message. I only offered up the flash point as a positive quality about the oil for demonstrating that it might be better than the other Mobile 1s. A fact I picked up while reading other posts about 0w-40. It was only an example (one detail) and my purchasing the 0w-40 did not rely at all on flash point. I don't know what AKI and WXYZ 54 are used for, I just wanted to know what is best for my 525i. And I think I got my answer.

As for Rick and Cary, you guys were indeed being ****s, but it looks like you're better now. And Duey, that pic is disturbing and hilarious at the same time.

Lets all be done with this.

Thanks
