Anyone seen a new commercial for Castrol GTX oil??? The commercial is a montage of close-up's of various car & engine parts & I swear half of the shots are of a MINI. I think it shows the MINI's key going into the ignition, the Tachometer, the 'S' 6-speed shifter, and a couple other shots too. Has anyone else seen this or am I just seeing things???

I totally noticed the tachometer. My boyfriend was like, "Those are shots of the MINI". Since then I haven't seen it again. You are not insane.

Too bad you aren't even supposed to use GTX in a MINI! Syntec please!!!

small love affair between BMW and Castrol.

Castrol gets a mention on your engine cover if you look.
