    Perfectly fine. A5 is generally more expensive so only wasting money.

    I'm guessing your car service interval is 10k kms?

    A3/B3 oils are used for extended drain intervals and severe operating conditions. A3/B4 oils are used in high-performance and direct-injection diesel engines. They can also be used instead of A3/B3-grade oils. A5/B5 oils are low-friction, low-viscosity oils with a high temperature/high shear rate viscosity.

    Have no idea what the vehicle is.OP just puts a statement out about oil!How would you know what type of oil to use? Why does he not go onto one of the major oil companies website? I guess that is to obvious.

      Plus one. What car and why this oil?

      Otherwise, the string is twice as long as half of it.

          You have to refer to the dealer for the correct oil.All company oil sites will refer you to the dealer for the correct grade of oil.If you know of a BMW specialist in your area I suggest talking to them.

    This from the Penrite site if your car is the 2.2 litre.
