[QUOTE="Schwepps, post: 360396, member: 3592"] If you look at the BHP ads, "BHP Syngard oils are blended using US formulations" In the US, semi-synthetic oils can be advertised as fully-synthetic. The price would also suggest a semi-synth. Better stick with Shell Helix Ultra AB and Petronas Syntium 3000, the 2 benchmarks. I don't even trust Castrol all that far, as it's hard to tell where a particular Castrol was blended. European and Japanese blended oils are fully-synth if they say so, but not all UK blends are. Without the BMW-LL label, can you be sure it's a fully-synth? A value for money semi-synth can put your car at higher sludge risk. [/QUOTE]
