Anyone running 5W-40 Oil yet? + UOA

Anyone running 5W-40 oil yet? In prep for a track day I decided to finally DIY an oil change with Motul 8100 X-Cess 5-40 which is my go to oil for DD cars. It’s LL01 certified as wel.

Car seems to be much smoother as anticipated with fresh oil now to see how it holds up.

Going to do a UOA with the dealer provided oil that was done for the 1200ml service. The oil came out much dirtier than anticipated for the OCI but normal for DI BMW engines I suppose. 300V held up buttery smooth on my FA20 so we’ll see how this one holds up after a few track days.

Will update with UOA once results are back.
