OT: Expensive German oil!!!

[Traian]

Wow, at Walmart in Germany Mobil 1 10w30 syn oil is ~50 Euros for 4 Litres!! That's like $70 CAD. I love my BMW, but if I lived here at that price I'd cut it with a bit of canola before dropping it in.

if you lived in BMWland i don't think you'd waste your time on crap like Mobil 1

...... you'd be using something like: Lubro Moly Voll-Synthese

DAMN RIGHT~

...or Redline

I just switched to Motul 8100 X-cess 5W40 (cost $90 CAD including labour and the filter).

Canadian Tire sells Mobil 1 0w40 for 8.99 CAD (if you can get it)

I also just put Redline in the tranny and diffs in my e46... very smooth.

looks like assimilation has reached Deutschland ----> a Walmart in Germany?!? ... the horror!

i wish they'd sell the good '$hit' in the Walmart's in North America, the good '$hit' being Amsoil baby!!

Amsoil 2000 Series: 20W50 during the summer months & 0W30 during the winter months ........

...... loooooooong drain intervals!!!

[Paul in NZ]

0W30 during the winter months
