Yea, they can do everything. Swing by and tell them that I sent you see if they can hook you up! Let me know how it turns out.

Good to hear. Who do I say? I'm guessing they don't know you by your handle. You can PM me if u want.

I actually just had Liqui moly 5w40 put in yesterday again. I'm not sure why, just told it was best. I go to AHM automotive in Richmond.

I think bmw recommends 0w-30, 5w-30, 0w-40, and 5w-40. I choose 0w-40 because for castrol and mobil 1, they are the only weight i can buy that meets bmw LL-01 specs at Canadian tire.

I have used non LL-01 5w-30 in my car. Doesnt really make a difference. But i do change my oil very 6-7k km.

Use anything that you can buy on sale (Canadian Tire) and complies with BMW LL-01. Unless you're looking for a certain oil for a specific application, any BMW LL-01 should work for daily driving.
