I've been using the regular Castrol SYNTEC 5w-30 in my 2008 550i MSPORT.

Wanted to do an oil change this weekend. Castrol EDGE? Is it compatible in our cars? I like giving my baby the best of the best.

What you guys think do the switch or am I better off sticking to the style ive been using.

Thanks guys much appreciated.

Castro Euro formula is compatible to the OEM oil and is the recommended oil, not the regular Castrol.

and I've been using Castro Edge for almost 2 years already, no problem so far but considering switching to OEM oil since it costs the same around where I live.
