Where did you find the 0W30? I thought it was discontinued and replaced by the 0W40?
My local (Victoria BC) Walmart carries it. I cleaned them out of stock and bought a bit more when they restocked. That was about about a month ago.
[censored], $12/L. Guess I will stick to the 0W40 for $26/5L when it goes on sale.

I see the price in the ad but I paid about $7/liter. And it wasn't on sale either. Maybe I got the last of the reasonably priced 0W-30 but I'm not usually that lucky. I'd be more likely to get the first of the "price increased" version.
For some reason the nearest Canadian tire doesn't carry it at all, and The Canadian Tire sales flyer always talks about "selected weights" being on sale. I'm not about to drive all over to find out whether 0W-30 is on sale. Are you listening Canadian Tire!
I never see Shell Helix Ultra (apparently the BMW recommended motor oil) for sale at any price. So someone is missing out here. Me probably.
I'd prefer to use a LL-01 approved oil in my BMW as long as I can find it. I could always take it to the BMW dealer for an oil change but I'd rather do it myself.
