Heads up - oil - Castrol 15668E EDGE 5W-30 LL Engine Oil, 4L - Gold

Amazon are selling 4 Litres of Castrol 15668E EDGE 5W-30 LL Engine Oil, 4L - Gold
Price £25.40 Delivered UK
(Halfrauds are charging £51 for the same stuff!!!)

you need 2 x 4L packs for 335D oil change - 7 litres odd for the change, then up to a litre to spare
(i.e. better than buying 2 x L5)
(Isn't this the oil that BMW use?)

The BMW LL04 spec is currently this

Just looked at the Castrol site - they recommend EDGE 0W-30 as stated in rusty's post above and link

still a good price on Amazon compared with other sellers

The BMW Spec was indeed 5w30 a few years ago but they replaced it with the 0w30. That's a great price for the VW 507 oil though if you have any a VAG car. Might order some for the wife's audi. Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah but it's still not a LL oil.

You can get same spec in LL certification if you care about it.

Just pointing that's it's not a official LL meeting oil.

EDIT: That 0W-30 is BMW certified my bad I missread

Thanks - now you have got me confused - isn't the link posted in rusty's post above equivalent to BMW LL 04?

I wouldn't worry, I posted the incorrect oil link initially and you spotted it quickly which was a great help as I cancelled my order and ordered the correct stuff
