Have Castrol changed the formulation for this oil recently? Everywhere I have tried so far seems to sell RS 0W40, not the 10W60 stuff recommended on Scoobynet. Are there two different grades, or has the 10W60 been discontinued?

I brought some from Castrol Classics (01954) 231668 just last weekend. 5 litres of 10/60 for £36 delivered.

i remember reading in some evo forum that the new rs 10w-60 is not as good as the old stuff (something about film strength or something). the ones to go for are the castrol tws 10w-60 which is the same as the old rs 10w-60, just a diff name. this tws 10w-60 is available from all bmw dealers (if you can't find it else where)as it is used in all M3/5/Z8 engines to solve the numerous blown engine problem.
