so thanks to the board, I scored 42 qts of Napa Synthetic 5w30 for 1.52/qt (pre tax). I have a ton of purolator classic filters for my yukon so I am set there (as I was planning to do 6,000 mi oil changes) but then I was thinking about the Boss' X5. so 2 questions;
1) Do you think that the Napa Full Synthetic 5w30 and a classic filter are good for 6k changes on the Yukon or should I shorten it? Currently running M1 5w30 for 6-7,000 miles (179,000 on the truck - no leaks)
2) Do you think I could run the Napa Syn 5w30 in the BMW X5 with an OEM filter? I ask b/c there is a 2011 BMW fluids notice that says for non-M vehicles, use a good quality conventional or syn oil but suggested to use BMW's oil. So I am thinking that since I have so much of the Napa, I could run 5,000 oil changes in the X5. typical driving is 50/50 street/hwy. My wife is not a rough or aggressive driver.
thoughts?
