What do you pay for oil? - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Went to the dealership to buy eight 1L 10W-60 bottles of TWS oil and an oil filter. The parts guy offered me a deal on a case. I got the case for $8/bottle and the filter for $8, which includes my BMW CCA discount and a slight discount given at the register.

The sales receipt indicates the list price for the oil as $15.66 and the $19.08 for the filter. Overall happy with the purchase but am curious as to what other folks are paying.

I am in Northern California.

Those are good prices....

you have to remember that some dealers INCREASE the MSRP of the parts. It looks like your dealer increases the MSRP.

I just checked out my invoice for my last oil change (lubrication service). It states $11.92 per (unit), I'm assuming a unit is a quart because they charged me for 7 units of oil. $11.92 x 7 = $83.44 plus $3.51 for washer, plus $12.54 for filter insert, plus labor $50.00 for a grand total of (Drum roll please) $149.49. Yes, next time I'm changing the oil myself!

$4 for the 5-30 and $8.8 for the TWS

robord- that's an astonishing price. Buy it here and ship it!

I get four x 4lt bottles for GBP 105 which is about GBP 6.50 a litre (Castrol 10W 60). At the current rate of exchange (GBP 1 = USD1.80) that is about $11.70 per litre.

I have to buy it in bulk as I get it through my girlfriend's brother who is a mechanic and so gets it a trade for me.
