Oil Question
Went to the dealer for an oil change. 2013 528i calls for 5-30w synthetic. Dealer put in 5-20w synthetic. When I asked why not the 5-30w that my manual says, she told me we don't have that. She offered to change it out for plain 5-30w!...No, I told her this cars motor was designed for synthetic only. How will the 5-20w syn. affect the motor?

As far as I know there is no branded BMW oil lower than 5w30, and if your dealer doesn't have that you should never go there if they can't even stock their own parts.

This is why I decided to do my own oil changes since I got the car (out of manufacturer warranty), since you have little to no control over what oil the shops use.
