Q: I have a 2013 BMW M5 41.5kmi on it: is it necessary to replace rotors when replacing brake pads?

BMW high performance synthetic 5w40 or 5w30 or equal weight synthetic oil will be best for your car. A certified mobile mechanic from YourMechanic can do an oil change (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/change-oil-and-filter) at your home or office.
