It's $50 for 6 quarts on Amazon and $10 a quart in auto parts stores.
Gotta check out my WalMart tomorrow.
I had moved to synthetic HDEO for my EcoDiesel, but will go back to this soup for $22.47 a jug.
......
"Come on in, the water's fine!"
BTW: The 5QT jug of M1 Euro 0W-40 and Castrol Euro 0W-40 is (normally) just slightly more than that as ~$25. Been that way for quite some time.

OK, so my Walmart has now stocked up as well. Nice to see a good selection of Euro oils that are also reasonably priced.

I posted a VOA of the 0W-40,
https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthr...0_V#Post3952093
Same add pack as the 5W-40, just different viscosity.
Ran really, really well, great mileage, only problem was a burnt rubber oder that went away after 100 miles.
Possible viscosity additive?

Yeah, not exactly dead. Just irrelevant to the non-BMW world of engines that don't have to be band-aided with the oil in order to just keep the bearings in one piece.
LOL, coming from FIAT driver.
A "Fiat" driver whose most serious mechanical problem since 2000 or thereabout has been a bad fuel pump relay...

Since that was all they had on the shelf at WM on Monday, it's what's going into my E550 this week. I doubt it'll be particularly interesting, but since a change always leaves just a little bit left over, I can do a VOA and UOA on it. Ought to do that with the M1FS that's about to come out too, I guess.

According to Pennzoil website, the 5W-30 pictured, and the 5W-40 are both LL-01.
The 0W-40 is not LL-01.
Data sheets:
Penn Euro 5W-30
Penn Euro 5W-40
Hope that helps.

I honestly don't believe SOPUS made the 0W40, it was probably still old stock from Castrol days. That is why BMW no longer offers the 0W40.

I am using the Pennzoil euro 0w40 and I like it so far.
