[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 293491, member: 4527"] Ah! Engine oil topic! While at the GTT on Saturday, I went to the Castrol booth and speak to a mid-age Malay chap representing Castrol. I ask him what should my E90 use that comes in 4 litre pack that I can buy from outside. He said nothing suitable. Their 5W-40 is BMW LL-98 and according to him, its not suitable for Valvetronic/VANOS model. Unless we buy their drum which is available in 0w-30 but its ridiculous for us private car owner to buy the drum la.. :( So I really dunno what Castrol is doing when most of the BMW models on the road is already having "valvetronics".. ??? I had difficult time explaining to him what car I'm using, he say the N52 makan minyak and need to top up. I say mine no need because I using N46. Then he say mine is old car.. I say no, its E90, then he say its 46, one model behind. I say its E90, running N46 engine.... he say that's why not consuming engine oil because old model. I say NOT OLD MODEL!!!! .... I gave up and say thank you for your time!! Thirsty after that.. :stupid: [/QUOTE]
