Kind of basic oil question.
I have a ā19 1250 GSA. Came with the BMW Advantec and it received that again at the 600 mile dealer service. Now I am doing all the maintenance myself. I switched to Liquimoly for the fall change after reading through peopleās experiences here and on advrider. It does feel like the shifting is a little smoother, which is what others have reported.
My primary question is this, has anyone here sent in oil for analysis from a wethead? Iām curious for the factual data on how the different brands actually perform vs āfeelā or opinion.
A secondary question is BMW Advantec is SN spec and the Liquimoly is SM spec. The difference I have read online is that the improvement between the two is primarily related to sludging and efficiency but welcome any info there as well.
If anyone has any other data or first hard experience Iām open to it. Iām not really concerned with saving $20 between Advantec or Liquimoly every 6,000 miles on a $25K bike.
