Where is the best place to buy castrol 10w60 synthetic? BMW says this is the only oil to use in the 2005 m3. I get a smoking deal on 10w60 liqui moly, but I'm not sure if I should use it. Euros seem to be anal about oil types.

I used 10w60 Liqui moly on my E60M and probably had one of the highest milage E60 around. A lot of E60M owners use Liqui Moly as well.

I've also used Honda 0w30 in my F10m without any problem. Given that 0w30 is the oem oil weight for the F10m

I get mine from the dealer.
It's not that expensive, and I haven't seen much better deals around online after you include the shipping

Giver. The only reason BMW recommends Castrol is because they are partnered with them.
