went in for my first oil change yesterday. do BMW dealers have to use BMW-branded oils? if so, who actually makes those oils for BMW?

when I was a kid, I wanted to become a teacher when I grew up because teacher get nice long summer vacations

now I'm thinking service advisor sounds nice... they always seem to be taking 3-hour lunchbreaks when I try to reach them.
