This is not LL-01......am I right?
Castrol does not make a 5w30 or 0w30 that is LL-01 approved anymore.

But 0w40 is LL01.
umm....0w30 IS LL-01 approved...i switched from 0w-40 cuz it was to thin and getting eatin up...cooler oil temps and VERY quiet engine with NO oil consumption so far using this 0w30.
This is the oil I use too. European spec is indeed different than regular Castrol. I bought my case at O'Reillys. I haven't had any issues out of it so far, but I will switch to 40wt oil (Motul most likely out of curiosity) before warmer weather hits.
