Oh wow haha I'm sure it's gonna easily make it to 300k, but have you ever experienced this kind of issue with the battery? what about a slightly lower rpm(500) shouldn't it be at 600?

No, but the BMW N62 does use about 8.5 quarts of the stuff. Even if you could find it at a magical price of $6.50/quart, you'd still be in the hole for $55. Add in a filter (lets just say $10), and a DIY oil change for most folks would be a minimum of $65 at bargin basement prices.
