The OE oil as seen in this video(its the same oil sold at the BMW Zentrums here) is made by Castrol. You can see the author of the video point to the oil data/factory stamp at the top of the plastic oil bottle. Now WHERE its made is anyones guess.

I know over here, the Castrol oil I buy and use for my 135i says it is made in Germany.

But I know the Castrol oil in the states is made in Belgium. At least thats what you guys(fellow 1Addicts) have posted. I do not know where the oil is made that the US dealer sell. ? All I know is it is also made by Castrol.


Thanks Dack!!
