Regards to Castrol and Mobil 1, BMW actually used Mobil 1 before, but I guess contracts or whatever they call has been switched to Castrol. Personally I think Mobil 1 is better, but Amsoil is far superior to both Castrol and Mobil 1. Just wanted to share the information to everyone.
Totally agree re. Mobil 1 and Amsoil. I thought it was interesting that the Castrol quart container at the dealer said BMW on it.
Probably just marketing BS but I would rather use the factory fill.
