I went to my dealer last week and paid $11.50 (BMW CCA discounted price) per liter for oil, which was much less than anyplace else particularly since with any non-local order you have to pay shipping. Normal dealer retail was something over $14 per liter.

When I recently priced getting a few bottles from a discount mail order source like Turner, the discount was more than lost by the high shipping cost. This probably only works when a place like Turner is running a free shipping promo. |

Update: my local dealer wanted $14.50 but sold it to me for $13.00 with my CCA discount. I told him Turner wanted $13.50 so he came down to 13 to beat them. He said the price they pay has gone up this past year...

I tried to see if the AutoZone in town would have them since it was Saturday night and my oil gauge was showing half full, the guys there never even heard of it and the "expert" counter guy swore I must be running a different grade. Another guy was trying to sell me 5w30, needless to say, I grabbed my gf and ran out of there like Craig T. Nelson in Poltergeist. "Don't look back!!"

Tischer or Turner is usually where I go. I'm trying to do some research to see if I can switch the oil viscosity up but need to see further results. If it was up to me, I would much rather fill the car up with Motul.

I'm curious, if you need to top off your car, doesn't the maintenance plan cover that? I just ask because I notice a lot of people with '11s responding to this post.

Interesting... I just got off the phone with my service adviser and he says that in between oil changes the BMW service plan does not include topping off oil if need be... when I get home from work will have to comb through the service plan.
