as for the 1000 hp M5, are you talking about VT Tommy? It hard to come by a car like that.
As for the ratings most oil companies need to pay for those ratings, thats why LM is not an SN plus oil.
The only negative i see about the molygen is that it micro polishes surfaces. that sounds good but if it does what they say it does, that will smooth surfaces to the point oil will not latch on to lubricate.
Its a good topic and i think there should be more info out there. every little bit helps

Lol , yes Turbo Tommy , It’s so hard to get a definitive answer on this topic , one guy says use 5w50 and the other says don’t do it it will blow your Motor ,
I was considering AMS oil too , and Redline
