Just bought a 2014 BMW M6 comp 23000 miles on it Checked by BMW service center . Going thru the included paperwork i noticed that the oil that was used last is 10w-60. I live in so.cal. can anyone shed some light on this.

Thank you.
That oil was specific for the old M5/M6 E series with the naturally aspirated V10
Not sure why people love to screw their engine with this oil, it's not suggested in any single manual/workshop for the F series M5/M6
Some people have even reported engine problems after using 10W-60

I stick with what bmw suggest in their manual (0W-30, 5W-30, 0W-40 and 5W-40 depending on model year and region)
