Thought we were talking about oil weights here, not company endorsement slogans. Which BMW dealership put an oil weight other than 5W 30 in a 335I? Please post up the info, thanks.
I've spoken to BMWNA on the phone on numerous occations, and so have several people on these boards. They didn't know how to tell whether or not a 335I has an oil cooler, so why are you bringing up the clown show?
Yes, apparently BMW Germany has certified that Mobil 1 0W 40, has passed the API, and ACEA tests they require, but again where is the giant leap being made on which engine this oil can be used in? They specified the oil weight on the vehicle, and put 5W 30 in it, after assembly, so whats your point?
Yes, sir, but for which car company, and which models? Which of the German manufacturers is pouring it in what cars, from the factory?
No, I'm saying that the idea that you can put in XW XX of your choice in an N54, and it doesn't matter which one, is YOUR idea, and not an idea held by, or endorsed by the German assemblers, or the USA dealership, service department.
Yes, but for which engine? Put 0W30 in an M5, and LL-01 approved Motul 15W 50 in a 318I? are you nuts?
err..Actually BMW germany does not recommend
ANY other brand of oil to be used in their engines except castrol. They wrote that on the engine itself, so where your getting anything Mobil, is beyond me. Oh yeah, from the marketing website of BMWNA? Those jokers.
