      I've been running the 5w-40 synthetic in my e30 since I first got it. Great oil, and I also ride a SV650 which I run the 15w40 oil in. This shit is good!

                I run it it my m20 and both my motorcycles. Hard to beat when it's a good oil and I can buy it in 2.5 gallon jugs at wal mart.

                  I've run it the entire time that I've had my bike (SV650) and I've put 20K miles on the thing, I'm running it in my e30 too.

                    rotella standard is what used to be known as quaker state hd...

                    rotella synthetic is related to penzoil platinum.

                      For the M20 yes, but not in a 24v motor. The 5w40 is perfect for M50/52 and S50/52 engines.

                        Good oil, readily available at a fair price. It is a little thin for m20 but perfect for other modern engines.

                              M42 is pretty much the same as a 24v engine. 5w40 is advised.
