Albeit a short list will add as necessary. Oils in this list are quite excellent and pao or so. The oil weight choice / viscosity (esp. when cold) will depend on the regional weather. If you find any of these oils cheap lmk lol... ********* Rowe synth rs 0w40 ll01 mb229.5 porsche a40 $9 Total quartz 9000 0w30 ll01 mb229.5 $9 Note this used to be Elf excellium 0w30 (great oil) and the carry over (good stuff) is still available. Brand new stock is not pao nor is ll01 Ravenol ssl 0w40 ll01 mb229.5 porsche a40 $10 Ravenol vst 5w40 ll01 mb229.5 porsche a40 $9 Castrol 0w30 ll01 mb229.5 <$9 aka german castrol, Note could be found cheaper locally and is no longer made in germany Yacco vx1000ll 0w40 ll01 mb229.5 porsche a40 $11 Yacco vx1000ll 5w40 ll01 mb229.5 porsche a40 <$10 ********** PS: answer to your two oils, No.

I´m uploading a file that shows different oil brands that meet LL-01 BMW requirement, hope it helps to those who need this kind of oil for their cars.
The only suggestion would be to get 0W if you leave in cold places but if not 5W would do fine. |

I'm using Liqui Moly Leichtlauf High Tech SAE 5W-40.
For me this is the best oil for my bmw. Before I started with Liqui Moly, I saw a lot of videos on YouTube about the residues of the oil, and Liqui moly was one of the best. |

It used to be, but not anymore. Why is anyone's guess.

"Hrrmm thought" - if you read the 1qt bottle, it states it is LL-01 approved but the 5qt jug isn't. |

Really? I know the 5qt bottle doesn't have LL-01 on it but I didn't realize the 1qt bottle did have it... I have a 1qt bottle in my trunk, I'll check when I go to get lunch today if it has LL-01 on the 1qt.

nvturbo My 1qt bottle of Mobil1 0W-40 does not have LL-01 on it, that picture must be an old bottle?

Have you ever used the lifetime replacement for oil at fcpeuro?
If anyone has ever returned oil to fcpeuro please let me know. Wondering if it means if I buy oil from them does it mean I’m getting free oil for as long as I own the car? |
