I was reading in antoher thread that the SynPower sold at Walmart and other places is NOT the LL01 approved oil. Apparently there is two versions of this oil. When I looked at the back of the bottle of the SynPower 5w30 it was NOT LL01 approved. BMW should make a note of that on their oil documentation, but they have not.
