BMW brand oil?

[Jehu]

he quoted me $97.00 to do the oil change while they have it replacing the alternator ($590.00)

Just do it yourself. It only takes a few min and, here in Canada, using BMW syn oil and OEM filter, it only costs me about $75 CAD in parts inc. 14% tax. And everything in Canada is more expensive.

I've been wondering about the BMW syn too. I use Mobil 1 which is about $1 more per L, so I guess I'd save about ~$16 a year using the BMW stuff. Also, the 5W rating should be better than Mobils 10W for the cold weather here (I've never once - anywhere - seen the mysterious 0W40 ppl keep mentioning). But the Mobil works (no leaks, clean oil, no problems, knock on wood).
