I agree with the MT-90, I have it and it's quite good. The only complaint I have is when the weather is cold, it does grind just a tad until its up to operating temperature.

why waste the money for motoroil when the engine isnt built with the tight tolerances that require a superlow weight?

Actually it does have tight tolerances, and the recommended oil weight is 5w-20 or 0w-20. 0w-20 is only available in fully synthetic, and also provides the highest mpg for the xB2.

DOT 3 from a fresh unopened bottle. Chance are, you probably wont heat up your brakes enough to warrant a high-performance fluid. If you are... I think you ought to look into another car...
