hello ,
does anyone know how i might find
the castrol oil decal that is located under
the hood , dead center front , on the
air induction of a 2001 M3 ?
in a nutshell it says : " use only castrol 10-60
motor oil " .
                             TIA ,
                               dick

Your dealer's parts department can still order them.

Unfortunately this item is NOT listed anywhere in the current parts lists. This
is probably supplied on the production line by Castrol so can I suggest you
actually talk to Castrol.

Try BMW service or rather customer service first USA then the factory in Germany
but I do believe they are also built in the USA or Canada so its worth a try
there.

Failing that if its a conours car you want the have a peek at a wrecking yard
they must have one stuck on a hood somewhere.

BTW I do NOT have one on my NEW E65 730d SE.

No, absolutely not.  The E46 M3 engine probably won't survive on any other
oil but the BMW 10-60.

Where did you get this part number from?  It's not in the current EKT parts list
which has both US and Euro parts listed.
