FWIW..... Used Redline 5w30 in my Bimmer for a few years. Seemed to be the quietest oil in that DOHC 3.0L N52 High Perf Engine. The bottle says Exceeds Dexos 1 but no green logo. Guess they didn't pay the fees to play. Still have 10 qts; probably will use up on an oil change.
Went with dealer AC Delco syn blend on 1st oil change last fall.
Researched oil specs over the winter and made a list to go shop at Walmart.
- Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Plus 5w30
- Quaker State Ultimate Durability Full Synthetic 5w30
- Pennzoil Platinum Plus 5w30
- Mobil 1 Advanced Synthetic 5w30
- Valvoline Syntec Full Synthetic 5w30

The last oil change last week (24% OLM), Walmart didnt have Penn Ultra on the shelf, so went with QuakerState UD FS. Read a lot of good opinions about the oil, so for $40 for 2 qt jugs, had to try the stuff out.
