Who has the best price on oil change kit-F30?
I need an oil change kit for my 2012. It has been awhile since I bought so who seems to have a decent deal on an oil change kit?

If one chooses 5W30 instead, the price will drop to $74. |

What would you guys recommend? 0w-40 or 5w-30 for a daily driver that does not see track days. May go FBO with BM3 in the future though. I live in New Jersey so it can be hot and cold.

In theory 0W-40 would be better as an all conditions oil. I don't think BMW currently recommends it, probably because in theory it won't give as good mileage as the currently recommended 0w-30 or the previously recommended 5W-30. But that's today. BMW changes oil recommendations and OEM suppliers all the time.

M1 0w-40 from Walmart and a Mann or Mahle filter from amazon has been the cheapest I’ve found. No need to keep the OE Shell oil in the long term.

I did my first change at home in the spring and decided to give MolyGen and Ceratec a try. I reset the counter then and just got around to checking it a couple of weeks ago. Fuel economy was up by 2 MPG. IMO that makes it well worth it, if engine part friction is reduced that much so is engine part wear.

I think I'm just gonna keep using fcp euro since it's free for me from now on. I already did one oil change with their kit and it went swimmingly well. Barring the few dollar shipping charges, i think it's worth if you are DIYing. Otherwise, as others have said, many coupons at dealerships.

If you live in AZ, why not get the Castrol EDGE 0w-40 European Formula for about $40 and a filter for about $10? Walmart/Amazon often have sales and the oil is usually about $5/quart. I usually buy enough for 2 oil changes at a time - 2x 5Q jugs and a 6x 1Q box - for about $80. I live in SoCal and so having the 0w-40 seems to make more sense.

Costco has the oil 27 bucks for 5quarts, and any independent repair shop will carry the mahle filter for under 10 bucks..

That’s a joke. They use FedEx Smartpost which is as cheap as they can get and takes 2-3 extra days for package to be transferred from FedEx to USPS for delivery. Don’t order on Monday if you want to change oil the coming weekend. Convenience - Yes Quick Shipping - No Quote:

Its never made sense to me but apparently is a real thing. Seems absolutely ludicrous to pay for shipping dirty oil back to the seller. What do they do with it? It would COST them money to get rid of not to mention losing money on replacement. What are we missing?! |

I do think the FCP Euro used oil send back thing is rather odd though plus if any of your used oil leaks in shippment, the shipping company will be all over your ass because it's totally illegal to ship used oil as it's considered a hazardous waste and it's illegal to ship without proper declarations, certifications, package labeling, and DOT shipper training (that would be YOU). Penalties are stiff.
