We'll see what my next Blackstone analysis reveals.
For the M2C, I plan on the same strategy. I will use the provided oil change yearly with 0W30 BMW/Shell and then decide which oil based on used oil analysis.
I love oil threads. They are legendary on M5board.com.

We are using the free maintenance oil changes every 10K miles, however it's my DD so mileage is adding up, so I DIY every 5K and let the dealer do the every 10K. On DIY I don't re-set the oil clock.
