So, don't substitute non-BMW Castrol or Mobil 1 synthetic as they currently don't meet the requirements yet. Found the thread: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ight=synthetic

I think I will mention to them the prices that I have been hearing here on the boards. I talked to some of my friends and they say it's just expensive here in the bay area, Cali.

However, there is no need to use such a thick lube in this application...any shear-stable, long-life, 5w-30 synthetic with at least a HT/HS of 3.1 is acceptable and has shown to provide good wear in daily driving conditions. Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5w-30 is a good example. Remember that BMW considers the regular Mobil 1 5w-30 as an acceptable substitute for the BMW 5w-30 oil. In addition, the LL-01 approved Mobil 1 0w-40 is very overrated. One may think that it is significantly thicker than other oils such as Mobil 1 5w-30 (EP or not), but this isn't true. Mobil 1 0w-40 starts out in the mid-14cst range with an HT/HS of 3.6cp, but shears rapidly during use to a 11.5-12.5cst oil within 5000 miles, and the HT/HS drops to 3.1-3.2 consistently...thus, its has little benefit over a stable 5w-30. Mobil 1 EP 5w-30 would be a better choice as it starts out at 10.6cst (based upon the Virgin Samples I've seen), and thickens slowly during usage but does not thicken out of grade significantly like the BMW 5w-30 does...the M1 EP 5w-30 also has a longer service life due to its higher TBN. (Generally) |

Its all out of pocket costs here in Italy. If my car was in the states then I could use the standard warranty: 4 years/50,000 miles
12-years/unlimited-mileage against rust and corrosion.

Scheduled service is not included in Europe.
225 Euros for a (LL04) oil change at BMW Den Haag (Netherlands). Update: The total came to 285 Euros (w/ Micron air filter). Last edited by roundle; 11-06-2010 at 01:47 AM.. Reason: update |

My local dealer quoted $99 for oil change after my 4 years ran out. $115 at local indy shop using Mobil 1. Those over $200 quotes are exorbitant!
Local dealer wanted $105 to change microfilter ... look in the diy .. its SIMPLE! My cost - $26.95 for the filter and about 10 minutes of time to remove the old one and put the new one in. I'm curious too - what's the difference between an oil change and oil service?

So I think it's safe to assume that "oil service" not covered under maintenance is a HUGE profit center for the dealerships. How much do you suppose BMWNA pays them for the ones that ARE covered? I'd be surprised if it's much more than $35 USD.
