Can any North Jersey M5 Guys help out? (Oil Related)

Fortunately, I beat the storm last night leaving out of Pittsburgh.

Unfortunately, I got a low oil message right as I hit I-287 North. I need to leave tomorrow to get back to Pittsburgh (work Monday) and it appears most local dealers are closed today due to the weather.

Do any North Jersey Members here have a spare quart of oil (OEM Spec)? I'm in the Bergen/ Passaic County area and will pay retail plus convenience.

Thanks in advance

Still hoping for some help from a fellow member.

In a pinch, I'll have to try Autozone on the way out. Do they sell "alternative" type oil that can be used in the M5?

Just use Castrol Syntec 0w-40 European Spec. It'll be just fine... Mobil 1 Euro Spec will work too.

Won't hurt anything. I use it myself to topping up when I'm a little low.

Yeah, Autozone, Advance, O'reilly's.... All of them carry at least one of those brands.

Thanks again. Picked up a quart, topped off the oil and went on my way. Just got back to Pitt. A rather uneventful drive. Which is good considering this weekend's storm.

I-287 and I-80 felt like the Indy 500 on the way out.
