S62 Oil Question (archive)

OK,

My car has the date "5/00" as its build date so this should mean produced after 3/00.

I have the oil bulletin that states I should use Synthetic SAE 5W-30.

But, there's a sticker under the hood saying to only use the 10-W60 which is for engines up to 3/00.

Now, I THINK 5W-30 is the way to go and the reason there was a bulletin was to explain this regardless of the sticker.

But, if this is the case, shouldn't BMW supply a new sticker?

I'm concerned that something could get mixed up at services.

I'd also be interested to know who else has the sticker with post 3/00 M5s

thanks
