[quote=AN]Ah, ic. I never had European, so I don’t know the history of their Euro blend. I used 0w20, 5w20, 5w30, and 10w30 and they all were in the mid $20s. But they were all for Japanese cars. I didn’t know European version were $10 more. Good to know that it’s now at the same price as the non-Euro blend.
BTW, I’m assuming you’re talking about the 5-quarter jug, right? 5-quart = 1.25 gallon.[/quote]
My bad….I knew that. Rotella is in a the 1 gallon jug…. Mobil1/Castrol is the 5 quart.. Since I was talking about both, I forgot to make a distinction.
Note: technically BMW can use the 0w40 Mobil 1 and Castrol, but BMW’s recommended oil list was cut down to just the OEM oil. I guess they did this is that most people were just grabbing any sort of synthetic and sticking it in their cars, and it was causing problems….Most BMW’s can take any BMW-LL01 oil…But the only ones found in the US that is common are the 0w40 Mobil 1 and Castrol… Some people have complained that 0w40 results in noisy lifters, so I stuck with the OEM oil.
Castrol use to make the BMW oem oil. I’m told it’s made by Shell now…
