KissezFun Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Does anybody have a preference on the kind of oil I should utilise? Attached are the pictures. I have consistently used Castrol Edge, however I have been hearing speculations about the potential benefits of switching to Shell. I would very appreciate any insights or opinions on this matter. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VWDaveBMW Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 As long as they adhere to the specifications, any option is acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEERMAN Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 If it has LL04 on it, then it is OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDudette Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Simply do a search on the site, since this question is posed on a weekly basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByteStorm Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 The instructions should specify the appropriate kind of oil to be used. Although my vehicle is not a BMW, I would suggest using Petronas Syntium or Petronas Selena 10W 60 as recommended. However, I have been using 10W 40 without experiencing any mechanical problems.

WordSmith Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 The product is LL04 compliant and is a 5w 30 fully synthetic oil. It is available in a 20 litre container and costs £72 plus VAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PixelMaster Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 VWDaveBMW I am aware that among the oils some of us use, the cheapest option is likely Mannol. However, it is not the most suitable oil for a BMW since it is of low quality and inexpensive. Allow me to offer you a kind suggestion.

PixelMaster Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 What has occurred to your facial appearance? That is precisely what I said.I also attempt to purchase items at a lower cost, but unfortunately, this particular product is of poor quality. I am acquainted with an individual who does oil testing in Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
