If you do your own oil changes and use Mobil 1 0w40 euro blend, Walmart should be your store to purchase from. They sell the 5 qt container for $25.17. Do the math that's $5.035 per qt. Single qts there are $7.74, still a good price. So 1 5qt and 2 single qt are only $40.65, not to bad. Robert Weston 06 black 325i 06 red 330i
Oil is the only thing I buy at Walmart. Never noticed Euro Blend on the label. Always be sure it's full synthetic and not a blend. Don't think Mobil 1 has a blend anyway. Reminds me, I need to pickup straight 40w for one of my cars.
Yep. Sadly I was buying 7 single quarts for years before I discovered that some (and only some) Walmart stores carry the 5 qt jug. Overspent by $20 for years!
FYI, Costco has $10 off Mobil 1, 1/30/14 through 2/23/14. It says limit 3 then 6/1 qt. I assume that it is a case of 6, 1 quart bottles. Just looking at the add that was mailed to the house so I don't have any more specifics.
AFAIK, Costco does not carry M1 0W-40, only 5W-30 and 10W-30. Too bad; although they're probably ok if you change every 5K-7.5K miles.
Since BMW switched oils I figure this is the perfect time for to switch also. I have bought my oil from the dealer ever since.. ever. As I understand it the 5w30 Mobile one is not LL-01 but the 0w40 is. Or is it LL-04? Thoughts on this?
BMW switched to Shell's GTL (Gas-to-liquids) product. It's top notch oil with low volatility and very inexpensive compared to what's available via retail. M1 0w40 is LL01. M1 ESP (I can't remember weight) is LL04 Any LL01 (assuming that's your spec) should work fine. M1 0w40 is a premier product judging by the OE Certs it carries.
Found this thread from googling: LL01 oil 5w30 http://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...l-Fanatics-Cheap-LL-01-Approved-Castrol-5W-40 You'd have to do some searching/googling to try finding cheaper alternatives - Redline is quality, can be mail ordered, but, more expensive. http://www.redlineoil.com/product.aspx?pid=2&pcid=21
Amazon has Redline products, I have no idea if it is the specific one you are looking for. It is a 1 gallon jug of 5W30 for $47.95 http://www.amazon.com/Red-Line-1530...sim_263_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0KVH46SG70A70F5XSPC0
