335d oil

daveleach · 03-05-2012, 11:51 AM

I'm in need of an oil service. Am looking to supply my own oil.
Believe opie are good online.
Is there any way of further discount from them?
And is this oil any good? Had a search around and fuchs seems to get good reviews.

Fuchs is almost certainly what goes into BMWs in the factory so should be fine as long as it meets the correct specification, your handbook will tell you what is right for your car.

I use Mobil1, many stick with Castrol because that is what it says on the oil filler cap but Castrol only sponsor the part I think!!

Stick with correct spec and big brands and you won't go far wrong, Shell Helix is also very good oil if they make some that meets correct spec.

Registered through my mrs Facebook and got the discount.
Just need to decide what oil to get.

Mobil 1 esp

Mobil 1 ESP is on deal at halfords at the moment.
£41.59 for 5 litres. So is cheaper than opie.
