amsoil anyone?
 

hey everyone...
I know that BMW recommends only Castrol fully synthetic 5W;30
and that mobil 1 full syntetic burns very quickly....

but has anyone tried using amsoil on bmw? in my case the m54 motor....
AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil and Engine Oil
AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil and Engine Oil

what are your thoughts on using amsoil over castrol or other brands?

Amsoil is great. I bought a ton of it back in the day for all my cars. I hate the fact, that I have to do that. I can't just buy what I need, when I need it.

I would buy it off you.. ;)

We should see if anyone is already a dealer here. Otherwise it would suck. The year membership cost I forget how much, then the oil. Then you would have to ship it to everyone, it would suck.

I just typed my zip into the dealer locator: Dealer Locator

Looks like plenty of places that sell it near me anyways?

Yea i just looked at the other post, and things have changed. Cheaper to become premier too.

Look at the other thread. I won't let it anywhere near an engine I care about.

Are you saying to stick to castrol 5w;30?

I have been using Amsoil for over 20 years and now use it in our X5 and a V8 4Runner. I use the engine oil, diff oil and the transmission fluids. From what I can find out Toyota use Amsoil for their "new" low drag transmission fluids.
I'll never use castrol after they once scammed me!

Quit wringing your hands over 'what oil/what brand' to use, imo...
Castrol, Mobil 1, et al, are all quality synthetic oils. Your 2002 will not care/know the difference, imo.
