Tried Motul's website or do you chuck out all the catalogues in your mailbox?

Repco, Autobarn, Auto One...

Most people chuck out the catalogues from the mailbox after they flick through them. I don't remember what was on special unless I specifically need something at the time I look at the catalogue.

I have a compulsive, obsessive problem with shopping and I need to know what's on special so I can go buy, buy, buy....

Your car is too modified anyway, none of your warranty applies anymore so who cares.

I must be living in the wrong area - don't get these 'auto' flyers

Probably just as well though - might give me ideas

You've gotta move to Western Sydney Avril, you'll get plenty of them out here

Yep, I mean exactly that.

When we did the tour of the service department at Trivett Parramatta, I saw the tool supplied to all BMW dealers that is used to analyse the engine oil when a car comes in for work.

Most of the time they will pick up the unauthorised oil type, 'blacklist' your car from warranty, and not even tell you... you have to find out the hard way

wow, that's pretty tight....i understand why they'll void ur warranty, but they could at least warn you

Donny BMW were happy with me doing my own oil changes, and i'm pretty sure they're aware that i won't use the oil that they like.....

One thing that i'm really considering is getting redline trans oil, i've heard non-stop good reviews here on M2, Nam, and all my mates tell me about it as well....

Oil is the least of his worries, warranty will be gone for running Acetone through the engine anyway!
