New BMW oil doesn't say synthetic?
So I'm about to do an oil change and I am looking at the new oil bottle and it does not mention synthetic anywhere on it. I'm pretty sure the old one did. I tried to upload a pic but this site never can resize properly and I'm on my cell phone. It's blue, says twin power turbo 5w-30, BMW longlife-01/gasoline. Part number: 83212365946.
Am I safe with this? I'm assuming it's the right stuff but little unnerving that it doesn't say synthetic. |

Btw...unlike Germany there is no legal definition of 'synthetic' in the US. The BMW branded oil is made by Shell and their base oil is made at their GTL (Gas-To-Liquid) refinery in the Middle East. Use with confidence.
