Is this oil ok ?

Westieracer · 07-05-2011, 03:33 PM

My E90 330i has FBMWSH and currently shows 9,000 to the next oil change. I'd like to change the oil now and noticed in my local tesco today that they were selling 2L bottles of Castrol Magnatec 5w-30 at half price.
The bottles have the BMW longlife endorsment on the rear, question is will this oil be ok for my car and how much will it take?

Regards
Dave
ps - if it is ok get yourself off to tesco think it was around the £8 mark

Is it LL04 approved?

I expect it is LL01 which is not suitable.

Put your reg in and it will tell you the correct oil.
