FWIW: Shell Australia website recommends Shell Helix 5w30 for all 2021-2023 BMW models with the B57 engine .. 5w probably because on average, it's a lot warmer here than in Europe !
Could be if his surname is Lott...I hope Costa isn’t just the marketing guy
Alternatively just buy it from an Ineos dealer/agent (who probably all use different suppliers depending on their procurement policy) keep the receipt and use it should there be any warranty issues.
I'm not arguing to go off-spec with oil. It shouldn't need to be supplied by an agent to preserve the warranty although that's a safe approach.
What's the verdict. Did you buy? And any info from your agent regarding warranty? Will return home this weekend with 2500 on the clock. Considering a change at 5000km and then every 10k after. So many mixed opinions out there.
Yep I would ordinarily but it's 2hr round trip to collect the oil from the dealer and they want £22 per litre! So even without time and travel that's bl00dy expensive.
Have not bought. No issue with the oil as it meets the BMW LL-12FE spec on the decal under the bonnet (hood). I'm at 3000km and planning a oil + filter change at 5000km. I'll probably get the agent to do the work. My back is currently cooked and that filter is in a crap spot to get to (and needs an uncommon socket size, cannot recall...).
Are you likely to pass another Ineos or BMW dealer on your travels before you need to top up with oil?
I'm equidistant between the one in 7Oaks and the one in Portsmouth - Ineos.
I'm still thinking similar but I really don't want to cock anything up. maybe when the Gren has fallen out of warranty....undecided.
Did it take a fuse out?
