BMW oil....

 

[Apache91120]

Yes, this oil is designed for BMW and other high performance cars. This is 100% Fully synthetic and designed for 12,000 km oil change interval. Distributed by BMW North America. I ordered 7 bottles from United States and will see how it performs.

Are you going to do a UOA?

 

[Apache91120]

UOA? Sorry, I didn't get it?

 

[Izso]

Used Oil Analysis. People do UOAs after using the oil for a period of time. Then can see the the quality of the oil and how well it does to protect the engine and all.

 

[Apache91120]

Yeah! That's a good idea. Perhaps I will do it and can post the result here.

It's a RM200+ test and the sample needs to be shipped to Blackstone Labs (http://www.blackstone-labs.com/standard-analysis.php)

Request for the free test kit.

Why go so far for Fully synthetic oil? So many good oil here.

 

[Apache91120]

Yeah! You are right! But there are so many fake oils sold in Malaysia so I only buy from United States and Europe. It gives me peace of mind and satisfaction.

Those will be the oil if your BMW is service by BMW dealer or BMW certified mechanic. It is the safest oil to use since it is made for BMW. The 10K is a little sketchy just like their sealed life time transmission fluid deal. Most of us cannot afford the factory oil. So, alternative will be like Mobil 1 synthetic oil. As long as not some cheap off brand oil which will damage the engine, I think most are alright. I use average price oil but change them very frequently, 3K miles and less.
