Grimmy, you are so funny. You have no dime but you passed the free maintenance from BMW and spend a fortune to DIY maintain.

Oil cost no more than a full tank fuel. Put it another way, we guys drive car @ 600K~more. Woun't you risk the most importance--lubrication by adding suspicious oil buy from a .net agency, would you? I rather buy from gas station or a reliable shop.

Or, if were I drive a car cost 100K~less, I would use peanut-oil in my kitchen as lubricant
Which was even cheaper @ $35/L buy from supermarket

I hear a lot about fake oil, but i don't know where it would show up, the net alot i think, i would be interested to know When i was shopping around for oil locally, i went to alot of shops, picked the local shop with history.. Wing Sung by Bmw TKW is selling it mobil 0w40 for 550 (gas station 800), i randomly asked one shop has big storefront but no customers, about 30meters away -490! too cheap i did not buy.. Those ones online are US editions, even then the profit margin is small .. it could be fake, but i wonder how they have hundreds of feedback already and no one detected anything, maybe Chinese consumers still can't tell .. Or its possible its still new, just repackaged cheaper oil.. Hope I won't be foolish enough to go for it |

In Hong Kong, I am thinking about going with Mobil1 5W-40 or even 5W-50 if they have it. Just too hot here.
On maybe I should try the Motul 300V 5W-50
