Any thoughts?
If you use LL-04 oil then it contains all the ZDDP package that is required for a BMW DPF equipped compression engine. The limited technical information about that mentioned product does not provide any real useful information.

I have been using motul 8100 x clean from sparesbox but wouldnt mind if castrol edge is suitable.
Castrol Edge 0W-40 LL-04 (Long Life 2004) is available and suitable for DPF equipped vehicles.
