that's funny, bmw uses the same 15,000 service intervals for us....except in miles.

actually i'm glad to find that out. now i don't feel like my 7500 mile oil changes are a waste. not that i really did before, but now i have numbers!

but to answer your question, the 4 non-BMW oils are in varying viscosities. iirc, the castrol is 0-30, the mobil is 0-40....i forget the others, but found the list pretty easily on the bmw website
