I had a guy working under my supervision a few months ago that was new to our company. He was an older fellow so in making small talk I asked him what he did before coming aboard. He replied that he managed an Auto Zone (or something similar I don't remember the exact store.) This conversation ensued:
Me: You you remember if you were able to order 10w60 motor oil?
Him: No, man couldn't get anything like that.
Him: What are you putting that in anyways? A Motorcycle?
Me: Its a 2008 BMW M3.
Him: Oh you don't need to put that oil in there, there are plenty of alternatives.
Me: Well, there are some alternatives if you need to top off in order to get the car to an immediate oil change.
Him: No way man, you can run different types of oil in that thing, read the manual
Me: Yea I have read the manual, and have done a fair amount of research on the internet.
Him: Internet? You can't trust what you read on the internet.
Him: What about all the other models BMW puts that engine in?
Me: The M3 is the only car that comes what that particular engine... nevermind man.
Him: I'll look it up tonight and tell you what all oil you can run.
The next time I saw him I didn't bring it up and neither did he.
