The BMW synthetic is only available in 5W30 at the local dealership. They recommend this for all the cars. It is a good deal at $3.80/liter with the CCA discount, but I prefer the 15W50 Mobil 1 for my M5 in GA.

Thanks for all your help so far with my new (to me) M5 - here's another question. I see our beloved M5s call for 15W40 weight oil. Hard to find in my area. My mechanic says 20W50 will work just as well. I don't plan to drive the car in the winter. Anyone with an opinion? (Silly question :)
