Service rep told me it's normal in M and M-performance cars to require a quart or two in between 10K oil service so I didn't have to do an oil change yet.

I'm thinking to buy Pennzoil Euro-L Platinum (BMW LL01 as per owners manual) but its a 5W-30 grade. Is this safe to top up with if my local dealer uses a 0w-20 grade for an oil change? SA didn't know which grade they would use for my car.
