There was a couple of VOAs done on the O'Reilly Full Synthetic in the past.
Here is the link to those VOA's......

IMO....these store brand full synthetic oils all use base stock synthetic oil supplied by Major Oil Companies. They may or may not have the same add packs as the major oil companies. Who knows for sure if they all appear on a VOA that identifies a synthetic oil as a Store Brand?

I look at all these house brand synthetics as 5k oils if used under normal driving.

thank you very much for any advice!
what motor oil is recommended in your manual?

Its possible this oil could be good but not good for your vehicle.

well the manual say:
must use:
-"approved oils are in SAE classes 5w-40 and 5w-30 "
-"use only oils with the API SH specification or higher"
-"use only approved "BMW high performance synthetic oil"
that what is the manual...
thanks

the point i was trying to find out is that for 20$ you get the
5q+filter of o'rielly full syntetic ,but maybe will just start
by buying the dealer brand from bmw,unless i find some cheaper oil that meets the requirements as the dealer oil. (6.75q and 23$ for the filter
)

IMO....store brand full synthetic oils are very good oils. I just stocked up on a few cases of Strauss Auto Parts Full Synthetic in 5W-20 and 5W-30 the stores are in NY, NJ and PA. After $5 discounts and tax....$2.22 a quart for Full Synthetic SM, GF-4 is a very good deal.
From what I could find out....it is most likely made by Castrol for Strauss Auto. Draw your own conclusions......I posted the sale circular on the Discounts and Deals section. They also had Peak, Conventional for $1.79 a quart, Strauss Auto High Mileage with Synthetic for $1.49 a quart. In addition to the Full synthetic I picked up a mixed case of Peak in 5W-20 and 5W-30 for some oil changes.

As the person who posted the VOA's on O'Reilly's Full Syn, I have an opinion on this matter...
You should really be using an A3 or LL01 spec'd oil for your BMW. There are a couple of those at Walmart, M1 0w40 European Car Formula or M1 High Mileage 10w30 SL rated. (the new SN rated doesn't have A3 I don't believe)
I personally don't think the O'Reilly syn is a good choice. If you must run it, choose an Xw40wt.

look:
The cirle-like logo thing on the back has the API rating. That oil is rated as "SM", and will be fine in your application.
