Hello everybody, and thank you for helping here.
Just few weeks back I have purchased a used BMW 325i Coupe 2007, and despite the x-owner has changed its oil before selling the car, am a bit picky so I wanna change it by myself.
However, here is the summary of my research in the last 2 weeks, and I look forward for your convenient comments/recommendations/advise:
1. BMW in ABU DHABI advised using (Castrol Professional 5w30/5w40)
2. BMW in Dubai advised using (Any FULL SYNTHETIC oil 10w40/5w40), however they said it costs around 1,000-1,500 DHS
3. Some shop in Dubai (Can't remember the name), advised Castrol 5w40, and they mentioned the price including genuine filter for DHS 510
4. John Garage in Sharjah, he's selling BMW Engine Oil 15w40 (for DHS 25/L) and (5w40 for DHS 35/L)
5. Some shop in Dubai sells Mobil's 1 0w40, told me it would costs DHS 650 for full changing with genuine filter.
Soooo....a lot of numbers, a lot of feedbacks through the web, and too many blogs.
I believe here where I can some REAL recommendations.
The (JOHN's) BMW OIL is quite cheap (even for the 5w40), and I had a look at the package behind (written MADE IN GERMANY).
What's this?
Please I need your recommendations for the Oil to use (SAE/BRAND), and advise some good affordable prices shops.
Thank you again in advance for your help.
