A typical m54b30 burns about 1L/1000km. I found that I burnt the most oil (5W40) on Liqui-Moly, then Castrol, then Pennzoil. Now I run Rotella 5W40, and its about 1L/2000km. Not too bad. Rotella is pricier, but at least i dont have to worry about not having oil every time I go out LOL.
Its just partnerships/contracts.

Castrol and BMW had a partnership, it ended. Now its Shell Helix rebranded for them.

Ever since I changed my coolant thermostat I'm not burning as much oil not sure is cause is correlation but hey I can go 5K KMs now before it was like 1.5k to 2.5k

I order everything from FCPEuro.com cause of their lifetime replacement. Its insane and works.

As per second part, dealer would be best bet. I very rarely order parts online and have them shipped here, its usually shipped to the states. Send me a message, I can always cross over for parts I have Nexus. I don't mind picking stuff up for others as long as they reimburse for any duties fee applied ofc.
