But in Cooper you have GTL?
You're right. I may switch to EDGE 5W-30 A3/B4 or 0W-30 next. Last oil change was before I realized how good Castrol's PAO oils were. At the time I kept going back and forth on what to use and finally decided using the BMW oil was a fail-proof option. Plus, if any damage were to happen to the engine, I wouldn't have to explain to my wife why using 0W-40 in her car that specs 5W-30 didn't cause said damage... Even though we (bitogers) all know it wouldn't have been the oil's fault!
What specifically will you gain by switching to Castrol from the BMW branded oil?
