You only need to change the oil (Lubricant) when the car tells you to.
The system will adjust to what is needed in your Country.

It is best to use 50ppm or better.
Here most stations only have 500ppm and the BMW engines work on it, but not as well as with 50ppm.

So use 50ppm if you can get it.

I am a newbie of this forum and live in Thailand too. I am not sure whether diesel V-Power from Shell would be the best one and equal to Euro 3 or 4. I only filled-in with this V-Power and am wondering if there are other. Appreciate for your recommend.

I bought it from authorized dealer at German Auto Bangna. I used to fill-in PTT once at the first after that I only filled with V-Power which is more expensive. I am not sure this is needed but I know V-Power is the best and most expensive. Could you recommend ?
