    My local dealer has been using 10/60 on the S50 for years and say its the correct oil to use but I have always thought that they just buy drums of the 10/60 rather than having to buy several different oils?

      Of course. This is how dealers work.

      I know dealers that now use the BMW recommanded "Long Life" oil in about every model.

      There is a nice article on the internet somewhere from an oil expert named "Oilman" with a very clear explenation.

      Of course using 10w60 will not instantly destroy the engine. Neither will Olive Oil. But that doesn't mean it's the best oil.

      The only time I would consider using 10w60 is if my car was a dedicated trackcar that never goes below 6000rpm.
