So I've been a fan of Tischer since I had my Acura back in the day, but this somewhat startled me. I ordered their service kit with the air filters and the oil change kit and got the 07 51 0 017 866 instead of the 07 51 0 002 545. Whats the point of telling them your VIN, etc so that they can ignore the sticker under the hood? Did BMW retroactively change their oil to 5W-30?


http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...ngineOils.aspx Does not list 07 51 0 002 545 at all, but this is supposedly caused when BMW switched suppliers from Valvoline to Castrol.
