I tend to agree with you especially with limited oci's. that said there is not much available that meets the rest of the spec acea 3/4 etc that's not already ll01. I think some of the vag/ll98 stuff does. Either way, I change oil 2x year, on probably a 3-5k mi oci, so it's somewhat a moot point for me.
My issue with m1 0/40 is the impression of noise and consumption in the m5x engine family.
