I guess I missed that news on the big 'switch' of BMW going from Castrol to Shell.
As for anyone changing from the previously 'recommended' Castrol to the now 'recommended' Shell, why would they?

Did one's car lubrication requirements 'change' from pre switch to now?

Just poking actually...

I don't race anymore and I haven't torn down an engine in decades, but in the 50+ years I've been driving an eclectic mix of cars and motorcycles, I have never had an internal engine part or component system break down/fail/go sideways due to a brand of oil that was flowing through its galleries.

As I think about it I've never had an internal engine component or part 'break', (other than some collapsed hydraulic lifters in my Shovelhead), and some of my older stuff was run pretty damn hard and on old fashioned lubricants.

NEway, ard's post was exactly what I was thinking when I saw the OP's post and waited for the arm wrestles and anecdotes to commence.
