(Ie; Chevron vs Shell vs Exxon bullsheat). And every fuel retailer I mentioned does meet those BS ‘recommendations’, you just may not be familiar with all of them, (which admittedly could be regional).
My argument is about the snake oil of unnecessary additives, and was quite clear on that, albeit many choose to believe a BMW engine is more advanced than any other, thus requiring it, when it’s clearly an excuse of a money grab, (again, hence why not a single manufacturer to my knowledge recommends nor requires such), in 95% of circumstances for the normal life of an engine.
If others want to believe otherwise, that’s their performative, as I also stated.
E; imo, a better use of money to ensure future reliability would be a routine Oil Analysis, (which oddly so many are anti), as well as an occasional scope every ~25-35k miles. But, that makes sense, so, /shrug.

Of all the brands you mentioned you use only Costco is listed on the Top Tier Gas website as being a Top Tier gas. But you go right ahead believe whatever makes you happy.
