Crazy OCI intervals, Amsoil this time

our x5d started to get slightly louder at pulls, its relative but I can feel it become more obvious around 4.5k miles on the oil.. this time I went and got Amsoil LL04 synthetic 5w-30, and that babys acting like a kid in the candy store, more foot response quiet down a whole lot and more 'hungry for more' at high speeds, keeping all other variables same .. try em out!

P.S:
I'm not affiliated with Amsoil

Its this one, anyone knows what SAPS do


European Car Formula 5W-30 Low-SAPS Synthetic Motor Oil
Low-SAPS, Low-Viscosity European Oil for European Gasoline and Diesel Engines
AMSOIL European Car Formula 5W-30 Low-SAPS Synthetic Motor Oil provides exceptional performance and protection for high-performance European vehicles. Its low-viscosity formulation maximizes fuel efficiency.

You know what works really well, Rotella T6. You can use it in diesels, gasoline engines, motorcycles, and more...

There is a huge following for fans of this stuff for most any genre of car. It's also super economical sold in gallon jugs at Walmart. Note it has to be the T6, and not the T5 stuff.
