I asked - out of habit - which oil dealer used at oil change. Luckily it was Castrol - but I got no INFO about BMW changing oil from 2015.
Since next oilchange/service will not be free, I am turning to nearby ex-BMW mechanic. I will obviously make sure he uses Castrol.

If it was me, I would not worry about the name on the tin or plastic container or however it is purchased, because they are the same if to the same specification. There will be no difference in cleaning ability no matter who makes it.
