Hey man - Mike posted some great results and I've been using it on my engine for about 25k miles and absolutely floored with it. On our trucks I think a 40w does better since the motor is moving a heavier vehicle - phenomenal additive package, and extremely awesome oil - don't let the price and the availability at Walmart fool you! This is one of the best oils out there. Getting out of the 5w-30 also keeps it running quieter too imo.
I also use it in my 2011 Triumph Thunderbird 1700cc (great for wet clutches!) and I will start using it in my wife's E70 35D*
*GASP - omg it's not LL04 approved by BMW! Well I could give 2 shits as I don't do longer than 7500 mile intervals anyway - and the SAPS/ash is at 1% (the BMW oil is at .8%) so it will keep the DPF happy for a long life.
Don't want to get in a pissing match about oils or BMW's LL spec but the LL spec is more about long intervals so that they can do bare minimum maintenance under warranty and less about long term engine protection IMO.
