[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 639234, member: 4527"] It can run anything la, if you not particular. If you particular and strictly follow the book, then use only BMW LL 5w30 lor. What's your concern? 0w-40 is similar to 5w-40 which is very common among the non-authorised workshop and is regularly used for E90 oil change. 0w-40 is more costly to produce compare to 5w-40 due to the more liquid state during cold start where the oil gets into the cam area a tad faster than the 5w-40, thus reduce wear and tear at the very critical cold start moment. At RM129/bottle, why should I complain? :4: 0w-30 or 5w-30 is not available in Tesco, if they have, I sure take. The next best economical Xw-30 I can find the the Castrol SLX Powerflow 0w-30, only can get from Tan Chong SC at about RM200. The Torco 5w-30 cost about RM55~RM60/liter which works out to RM220~RM240/4 litre. [/QUOTE]
