Other then the right grade of Oil, does it really matter on brand? From my last service which i have 2 lights to go till next and 15,000 miles done I had some 5-30 Comma fully synth oil and it's been fine, only topped up today about 300ml.
Asking as euro have 25% off and I can see this rather cheap one on the recommended under X5, wondering if it's ok?
