    What brand of oil do you use?

    I've been using Castrol and used up the rest of the case I had in the garage. This oil spill has left a bad taste in my mouth about BP and the way they do business. If they're cutting corners out in field they're cutting corners with the oil I'm putting in my car.

    Time to trade up. What's your opinion?

    I never thought about it that way; good point.

            Royal purple in the M, and was using Castrol in the Quattro, since the car likes it the best.
            All the other cars, I don't have a preference.

              I was using castrol, but then a few days ago i was at the stealership buying an oil filter, and they asked if i wanted any oil. i assumed it be to expensive but i asked how much it would cost, and it was $6.25 a quart, which is cheaper than the auto parts stores in the area. So i bought it there. cool story bro.

                    Though not totally outside of the oil industry, the API test all major brands of motor oil for minimum standards. Thinking a company will cut the quality somehow in a motor oil product because they and/or a vendor screwed up a well in the Gulf is sort of a reach.

                    Follow the owners manual suggestions based on your driving style and your BMW engine will go many many miles.

                        I use Castrol Synthetic...

                        That way I can feel good about my 'footprint' since it isn't real oil anyway right?
