[QUOTE="ckchin, post: 736432, member: 47106"] Put it this way, there is no way the SA will tell you the truth whether BSRI engine oil is 5W-30. I go to AB Sg Besi during BSRI and insisted to pay for the BMW recommended engine oil placed at the waiting area (SAE 5W-30 Quality Longlife 01, ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4). It is RM118 per litre. They told me the centre is using Shell full syn 5W-30 but the engine response and acceleration totally declined ! I suspect the viscocity spec is not per BMW recommended. I have also tried to ask them to prove to me but only to be told it is in barrel form. Hence, I can only conclude BSRI oil is poorer quality and lower their costs ! Long term use of higher viscocity oil will damage cam lobes !! Tell me if i have sensors on my butt to differentiate engine response and down shifts by using different engine oil spec. But again I stand by my feelings. Anyone tried it, please share. (I cannot share the photo of the engine oil bottle here due to restrictions of size. Any other solutions ?) [/QUOTE]
