At 800 miles on my new e60 M5, my BC says I need oil. I tried Pep boys but no luck. I went to the stealer and they wanted $23 for a quart of oil. Does that sound right?

My turbo burned a quart of oil every 1000 miles but the oil was only $6/quart for Mobil 1.

Anyone find a good source for this type of oil?

 

try your local walmart.

 

Thereabouts. You can try Tischer BMW's site; I think I heard they're having a sale.

 

Call Turner Motorsport. They sell the Castrol TSW 10 W 60 synthetic oil.
I have bought it to keep in my garage to top off when needed.

i'm surprised no dealer has contacted u for service through iDrive at that millage.

 

Hey Arling,

What? You mean idrive monitors my mileage and reports it somewhere? So I'm assuming they know where i've been as well?

 

i guess so. U're married to BMW!

 

You can ONLY buy Castrol TWS 10w-60 at Dealerships and Online. You will not find it at any autopart store nor should you try to buy any oil that has comparable weight. $22/liter is insane for TWS. It should be around $9-10/liter. Try another BMW dealership and/or get a BMWCCA member ship so you can get part discounts.

 

Whenever my M6 needs oil I go to the dealer and they put a quart in for free. I just cite their "free maintenance" clause even though I am not sure it includes top off's.

My service advisor was good enough to give me two extra quarts for me to have in my trunk just in case.

 

i have a great connection for the stuff... but the shipping costs from florida to you might make it a wash.. $22 per quart is highway robbery, please dont pay that!

 

I bought a bunch of liters from bavarian autosport (bavauto dot com) for about 10 or 11 per liter.

 

I made a few calls today and found the oil at Center BMW for like $11/liter. Bought a case and returned the $23/liter back to BH BMW...although I probably used that much in fuel to go back to BH.

 

I need to find an online source for that. the B10 drinks it like water.
