mayb i did not put it correctly. i had wanted to ask PML why they use shell when manufacturer recommended castrol. mayb they know somethi that we dont. mayb it's their way of using the cheaper options just so that they can priced their packages $10+ cheaper. competition is good, so we can have an option
I don't think it is an issue about PML using cheaper oil, afterall the Shell Helix Ultra is BMW LL04.
They can package cheaper because I think it is because of
one other difference, read below (for meek's ride/model, PML is $10 cheaper based on both charts);

PML's prices for E90 (4 cylinder non-turbo) seems to be cheaper than MA.
For E90, figuratively and just using both the charts, PML (S$580) is cheaper to MA (S$652) by $72 (both inclusive of GST). However there is one other difference besides Shell and Castrol which is; Vehicle Check.
Vehicle Check - Provide by MA, none by PML. This vehicle check
* which can cost maybe approx $70+ per service check... so for 3 trips for service checks, it add up to $210+... so apparently, if we go into details, MA's TSP is worth more than it's face value or chart of S$652 (the vehicle checks of total $210+ is transparent).
Cents worth,
* I recalled more than 15 items, saw it on my last servicing and so many on list that I gave up looking in specifics therefore cannot remember the exact number. No photographic memory here.
