Just rang BMW and they said they use 0W-30 Castrol Edge

What's the difference to 5W-30 as I stuck that in my 535d before to 0W-30?
It's for a 2008 X5.

They want £175 for an oil service.

Quick look on EuroCar parts
9L £76
Oil Filter £10
£86
I guess my local Indy will charge like an hour labour (at a guess ) £50+Vat = £60
£136 If I went supplied my own Indy route

But which oil, 0w-30 as recommended or 5w-30?

going through a saga as from my other post my indy wasn't keen for me to supply own

their Petronas is probably very similar, and as grizloc says the cheaper stuff maybe better too, but just going to stick to the book and keep with Castrol Edge but go with 5w-30 instead
