Or just constantly bemused by people who buy 20 thousand dollar toys and then look for cheap alternatives to BMW oil and filters.It appears you are not being overwhelmed with responses to your question. This may be because folks are a bit burned out by threads about oil.....

All the Hondas get whatever brand of CI-4 15-40 I happen to have open at the time, but you asked about the Beemer. If I had a 442, it would probably get the 15-40 as well!
Here's a link to A&S Cycles (BMW dealer) that offers oil change kits. They recommend Bel-Ray 20 50 if not using the BMW oil. I prefer to visit the dealer to purchase oil and filters but in the same sentence I'll say I won't pay their prices for tires. I prefer to do my own service when I can mainly because I'll clean as I go and I'll have first hand knowledge of the shape the bike is in....just getting an idea of brands Peaple prefer,and when I put oil choices in search box I find no results,sorry if the question been beaten to death,just try find some info.
Which is NOT IN SPEC for his particular motorcycle, but who looks at specifications anyway these days with all the Internet gurus about spouting bad information. Put in your bike whatever you wish, but in giving advice please at least keep it within the published specifications.
Paul, I suspect you misread my post. Nowhere in my post did I suggest using 15-40 in the BMW.
I reiterate:
"Mobil 1 V-TWIN 20-50 and a Mobil 1 MI-102 filter works for me."
Right off the bottle: Mobil 1 V-TWIN SAE 20W50: API SG,SH/CF JASO MA. What's wrong with this spec??
I regret mentioning the Hondas... and the 442.
Oil; the deadliest of topics!
