I agree. A quick couple of keystrokes and label has LL04 on the bottle.

In fact if you so desire, do a search on retail 229.51 oils and you'll usually see LL04 also on the bottle unless it's a 40w at which only Valvoline has pending approval for a 40w which is already 229.51 approved.

Motul is a little different since the market a 40w LL04 oil but they have the X-Clean line which is VW 507/LL04/MB229.51
