Does BMW give the same advice? It seems you don't even know what the current recommended BMW interval is, and you're just bitchin to bitch.
Eurocars often have special oil requirements, where the oils have passed certifications not required by other manufacturers..

If I recall correctly newer BMWs need to use an ACEA A3/B4 oil maybe need C3 as well. It will need either a LL01 or LL04 rating;he needs to look in the owner's manual.

Another example is the RDX with is boosted engine. The requirements are synthetic that passes the HTO-06 deposit spec. Would be a bad idea not to follow that.
