Thanks I’m not used to seeing my oil almost black after low mileage changes and freaked me out. I was looking and researching all the different oils approved for BMW, but was wondering if it’s a true beneficial oil or a formula for EPA compliance. It has a loud metallic rattle at start up (1-2 seconds) and has me wondering if the oil is too thin that it drains out of of the tensioner or tappets while sitting.
