Sounds more like a cereal. Just add total and some milk to your engine, and feel the instant power..

What weight do you use?

[parabellum]

0-40 is the only Mobil 1 oil that I know of, which meets the BMW spec.

Is 0-40 the same as straight 40?

Can that some weight be used in the Royal Purple applications?

I am not familiar with the term 'straight 40'.

Again...a search will reveal about 1000 threads on this with all the info you could possibly want.
