In need of 6 empty bottles of BMW TPT 10w-60

[Arith2]

Just find a BMW dealership and ask then to give you empty bottles. If you were local I'd just give them to you. Dealerships literally just throw them away.

Returning used oil is just....wrong.

How much is your time/effort worth though?

For the record, I have never sent anything back to FCP.
I have three BMWs now, so doing a bulk return is worth the effort.
I wouldn't be sending it back if I only had oil.

Check a garbage can in front of an auto store.

Dude, I don't know - I have 7 BMWs and I have never sent anything back to FCP, and even if I were doing bulk return, I still wouldn't send used oil for refund. I bought a product, used it, recycled it. Its a consumable.
Returning used oil is like shitting in a burger wrapper and bringing it back to a burger joint. Sorry if it was too graphic.

The purpose of this post wasn't to gather opinions of FCPs lifetime warranty but thanks for taking the time to let us know how you feel.

Are you effen serious man?

[ATB88]

People really need to relax about trying to make people feel bad about using FCP's warranty for a use case that FCP openly allows and encourages. It's not "ruining it" for anyone, this is 100% part of what FCP intends and they work this into the cost analysis of the feasibility of their warranty program. If someone thinks it's worth their time to ship used oil back to FCP that's their business.

Agreed, but we can still poke fun.

Have a free boop/bump/poke OP... LoL.

It takes literally no extra time for me.

My 4runner oil change:

- Buy oil and filter from autozone
- Drain oil into pan
- Change filter
- Dump in new oil
- Dump old pan oil into the recently drained oil bottles
- Take old oil to autozone and dump into their big bin

My M3 oil change

- Order oil and filter from FCP
- Drain oil into the drain pan
- change filter
- Dump in new oil
- Dump old drain pan oil into the BMW oil bottles
- Put old oil bottles into FCP supplied plastic bag, then in the same FCP box the oil came in
- Take old oil and filter to shipping store and drop it off
- Receive $97 return on my credit card.

Receive $97 lol you pay frst, then get reimbursed. Doesn't matter if it's $5 or $500

Second of all I wasn't talking about you, but the subject of this thread who had created said thread, Fred, eliciting help obtaining specific bottles to fool fcp.

While this is true, I plan to own this car for longer than one or two oil changes, so in practice, I only had to pay for the first oil change/filter and everything after that is awesome. I can shorten my oil change frequency to 5k, or 3k to save our delicate bearings and don't have to really worry about the TWS tax.

My intent wasn't to argue with you dude, no ill feelings towards you!

[clawhamm3r]

FCP gives you bags? That's nice. How much is return shipping?
