Oil spec please :)

Hi, does bmw long life 04 comply with a 2008 330d? Just spoke to the guy who is selling it apparently it is suitable for DPF cars. But I'm not sure.

That's all my 2008 325d has ever had in it

Dan-danGT · 02-25-2013, 03:56 AM

Thanks for that, my brother has a VW bora tdi a d it had on the bottle suitable for long life 04 so might use that stuff on mine. Don't need doing for a while so

If you need oil look no further than Fuchs

Russ G · 02-28-2013, 07:14 AM

I have just been in to my dealer to book a service, they wanted roughly £110 for 8 ltrs of oil, I can buy it of internet as per link above for £56

Danny.B. · 02-28-2013, 12:01 PM

Is that 5w/40 stuff ok for a 330d then? I thought we needed 0/30?

Any advice appreciated, bargain price that!

Billyray911 · 02-28-2013, 01:20 PM

And Â£48 as soon as they replenish stock at Wilkinsons...

Danny.B. · 02-28-2013, 02:38 PM

Ah yeah i forgot that thread! Going to get the old dear to get some with some added discount!

Russ G · 02-28-2013, 02:43 PM

I ended up getting the 0w-30 as advised by the garage.

Couldnt wait for wilkinsons, needed it now.
