That's good advice. Actually, I've been running Amsoil 5w-40 European Formula oil since I got the car. I figured that with all the talk of IMS issues, especially related to seal breakdown and the dogmatic belief of running Mobil 1 0w-40, that there was something a bit more systemic to the issue. Not knocking Mobil 1 but there is the off chance that it has additives or carries contaminants in a way that isn't friendly to the bearing. Just a theory. Besides, I've been using Amsoil in my M3 for over 10 years with no issues.
