Had a look on the Castrol site to see what they now recommend and kept being directed from the motorcycle section to the car oil search so gave in.
I'm assuming it is discontinued but won't tell us what superseded it.

Its not always the destination that counts its the ride, having a destination just stops you going round in circles.

check the spec to make sure it's OK.

Opie oils give a 10% discount for forum members.

Castrol has ceased being the BMW supplier from 2010.
Any brand oil will do for the final drive.

Thanks for that Costas.
I just like to use the recommended stuff so if something goes wrong I know its not the oil etc causing the problem.

Also double check the amount to refill - IIRC now 180cc used to be 200 and something cc.

I may be wrong though. My wife says that I frequently am....

Andy’s dad, your right, apparently they reduced the volume to stop the expansion blowing the seals. Got my oil from Opie oils.

Best regards.  Mick
