Recession is not over yet, hence people hunt for bargains.

Just spotted that Halford is giving discount on all oils.

Here is 5-30w ESP (fully synthetic) 5 liters going for £41.59.

More interesting, I uses 0-40W (fully synthetic) which means more protection during colder morning in winter and warmer afternoons during summer. And amazingly Halford is selling it for £39.99.

I am not sure about others, but for me these prices are reasonable.

All the best.

all these grades of oil is so confusing, i was recommened to use 0w30, a lot of people use the 5w30

is it ok to use the 0w40, have you used it in your E90 before?

Azz, you can stick with 0-30W or 5-30W.
As I said, I prefer 0-40W and used it in my Audi and E90.
No complaints at all. I find the car smooth in low temperatures.

Check out Opie oils as usual...

Fuchs TITAN GT1 XTL 5W-40 synthetic engine oil -5 Litres (Plus a 1L Bottle FREE)

£29 with free postage.
(Although I did add some Millers to the order, so that might have got me into the free postage bracket - can't remember).

6 litres for £30 is pretty good!

Ive always used mobil 1 0-40w too, I bought some the other day at costco, 5 liters for £30.00

I wouldn`t use Mobil 1 New Life 0W-40 on any BMW with a DPF as its to
BMW LONGLIFE OIL 01 specs and not BMW LONGLIFE OIL 04.

More to the point if you want fully than use Mobil 1 ESP 0W-40. on cars with DPFs otherwise they will get full sooner rather than later.

Also ESP protects the turbo better than the others. So for Diesel users, ESP ticks all the boxes, whereas for petrol cars, mobil 1 new life would do the job.
