BMW LL01 spec

Wonder if this okay for our cars? What is the difference between an LL04 and LL01? Cheers

That is super cheap !

RajB · 07-02-2015, 01:41 PM

Very cheap for sure. Is 5W-40 compatible with our cars as I thought it was 5W-30?

5W-40 will have more viscosity. So more protection on older engine at the expense of MPG. MPG will drop.

Sam, sorry I understand the viscosity numbers but just meant that some engines / manufacturers will specify only a specific ratio for a particular engine. Just wondered whether that was the case for the 335i's or whether 5W-40 is acceptable too.

I use Trade Tec oil 5w 30 LL-04 on my 330 D, I got 7 litres for £35.00....

I've been using Trade Tec for quite a bit now...

I haven't found cheaper then Harry Fairbairn: 20 litres for £48 inc VAT and delivery for SAE 0-30 LL04

I bought some last week and, despite the ad stating 48 plus VAT, the price of £48 included VAT

How can this be so cheap?

LL04 was primarily developed to keep diesel exhausts clean. LL04 is better for low sulphur content fuels such as those available in the UK and Europe.

I got 20L of the Low-SAPS BMW spec 5w30 DPF oil from EuroCarParts a month or two back for 54quid.

Comes in a big trade sized bottle which can be a little awkward if you dont have a pump, but you can get a pump off ebay cheaply enoguh.
