[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 375537, member: 4527"] I don't think the 1L retail pack of BMW oil sold at SC is Syntium, I think those are Castrol formulated BMW LL oil. Syntium supplied to SC is drum based and is filled using a metered nozzle. Sometime I wonder, how accurate is our oil level sensor. There have been several cases where the level sensor were found faulty and replaced. Darn, how nice if they were to keep the dipstick there for physical visual inspection. :( 323 needs about 7L, mine is a 4-potter :D I drained my first fill at 5k km (run in oil ma!) and 2nd drain was at 15k km. All own expenses because 4-potter 1st oil change is scheduled at around 25k km, a little too long for my comfort. [/QUOTE]
