Here is a spec list of the oil I listed previously. It has all the necessary requirements for our engines.

That isnt the Oil you link to in your previous post, The one in your previous post is carlube A3 which doesnt appear to be BMW LL04, Triple R is BMW LL04 but is more expensive

To be honest with you I bought such engine oil on the end of May this year :

8 litres of Castrol Edge for just around 60 pounds.
Sometimes you just need to wait for such bargains and it is worth it.
I know that there are other cheaper brands and maybe are as good, but I just do not wanna risk it. The car cost a lot of money and I wanna be sure I keep it at the best possible standard

Sorry if this question has already been asked, I drive a E90 LCI 320d and looking for DIY an oil change and filter. Is this the correct grade for the engine oil?

I note that BMW has recently swapped from Castrol to Shell for their approved LL-01 oil.
