[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 344877, member: 4527"] Maybe that's what the American blender refer to as "Cross Blend" for their 100% Synthetics, as Schwepps mentioned mixing Group 3(mineral) and Group 4(chemical), which is Semi Synthetic by European standard. Group 1 to 3 are all mineral based while Group 4 & 5 are chemical based. If not mistaken, Castrol Magnatec has 5W-30 Semi-Sync. I am running Torco 5W-30 100% Synthetic BMW-LL04 for my E90, very smooth ma.. :p Aiyaa, just make sure I drain them no more than 10k km loo... not cheap also.. more than RM200 for 4L :( [/QUOTE]
