No more monopoly on oil for the S54

If this is old news, sorry, I just came across it, but Greddy makes 10W-60 oil now branded GR-1. As far as I know, this is the only other oil besides the OEM Castrol that is 10W-60.

I wasn't aware Greddy is in the oil business?

There were an additional 3 others out there that had 10w-60, but none are approved by BMW. Also, the Greddy 10w-60 costs more than the Castrol.

there are a few other brand that makes 10W60, mostly sold in europe and asia. HOWEVER, they are extremely expensive. To be honest, what we paid in the states is A LOT cheaper than everyone else already.
