Dang, that's crazy-cheap.

5l (~5qts) of 5W-40 here is around $100 retail. Everything you got for $60 is about $250 here.

Because of the high retail pricing, I watch for promo deals at auto parts suppliers and get name-brand synth oil (Castrol Edge 5W-40) when it goes on sale, so I can usually get two 5l packs for about $120. BMW OEM oil filter from the local dealer is $50, so I can get away with good supplies for an oil service for around $170 - not too bad really.
