Sludging is aquestion of what addatives are in so again look at the specifcation.Very intersting article on the BBC site last week E30 325, run by BMW and MObil for 1,000,000 miles, on mobil 1, stripped and no measurble engine wear. Sounds great but the oil change interval was 6,000 miles, not the 10 0r 12 they state on the adverts.Ge the latest spec API (SM I think) change it regurlay, and as I said before why do you need a 0 oil in Malaysia?BMW do not make Oil Spark Plugs, Filters etc, so if out of warranty buy on specifcation not brand.I've worked for car suppliers and products come of the production line, and then put into various boxes for car manufactures, labelled as thier product and they are all the same specifcation.</blockquote>
