many on people on the forum use both,

if your comfortable using castrol then use it, im comfortable using mobil because it has the bmw LL-01 stamp on it.

Mobil 1 0W-40 is of the following builders approval:
MB-Approval 229.3
MB-Approval 229.5
OPEL Long Life Service Fill GM-LL-A-025
OPEL Diesel Service Fill GM-LL-B-025
BMW LONGLIFE OIL 01*
VW 502 00

If you're still under warranty you can just go in and get oil put in.

My dealer does it anyway

not necessarily, unless your car tells you, they won't do anything. like 1 oil change per yer.

they told me if my car tells me i need oil and its not due for a change, they will put a quart of oil in until my next change.

I've had this done a couple of times before my 60k oil change

kushtrim · 09-04-2011, 08:21 PM

BMW of manhattan dose not do that , my friend took he's car there ones for that and they told him he needs to buy the oil himself

PKumarM3 · 09-04-2011, 08:25 PM

These cars chronically burn oil. I keep a quart in my trunk as well.
