The local Brisbane dealer uses a Shell synthetic oil 0W-30 or something (I've got the spec written down somewhere...). It's not the Shell Helix Ultra you buy off the shelf at K-Mart so I'll have to find a source for this or the Agip.
"Shell Helix Ultra AB Fully Synthetic 0W-30" is what the Brisbane BMW sevice guy said they use. Thet don't sell it though apparently. I guess they'd only sell the BMW packaged stuff...
