        penzoil 10-40 in my E30s-- they sponsor alot of the lowrider events, so i will use them. --- and ive never had a problem with sludge like im sure some here will chime in with.. sludge mostly comes from driving style--not letting your engine get to full operating temp. used to use castrol, cause it was the cheapest crap i could get.
        ohh, and by the way--- BMW here is Germany uses Mobile 1
        they get so pissed when I bring them my own MOBIL1 0-w40, cause it costs about 20 euros a liter here in germany, and on the army post we can get it for abouty 25 dollars for 6 liters.

            IIRC Porsche uses Mobil 1 exclusively and seems like there were several other big name mfrs. that did also. Either way, it works for me. ;)

                                    have used castrol gtx in every car my family has had and not one has come out with any problems.
                                    when oil changes are made i inspect the oil. it's smooth, clear and clean.

                                                    Fuchs 10w-60 from Previous Owner.
                                                    I'll probably move to 15w-50.
