The M96 seems to have some obscure lubrication issues.
The generally accepted recommendation by the M96 experts(NOT our guy!) is to use JGDT40 (or similar) and fit a full flow filter upgrade from LN + good quality magnetic drain plug.
We use BG in the shop for some very limited applications as a last ditch , customer-will-not-pay-more attempt to clear excessive carbon build-up from intake systems.That is a different issue to yours?Different product to the "Engine Clean" you mention. Eventually the carbon has to be removed mechanically so the BG is just a band aid.
