Superior lubrication throughout the life of the oil
Compared to conventional engine oils, BMW High Performance Synthetic Oil is better able to keep engine combustion contaminants in suspension and is less susceptible to the harmful effects of oxidation.
The oil resists sludge buildup thus allowing extended oil change intervals. Synthetic based oils also have a lower volatility which makes them less susceptible to evaporation thereby reducing oil consumption.
This oil has been durability tested on BMW engines and supplies superior lubrication under all operating conditions and over the extended BMW oil change intervals.
