regedit Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Castrol Edge seems to get recommended but there's a few variations of 5W-30 and I can't see any here which specify LL-04. Castrol website mentions Edge Professional LL04 but can't find it anywhere. Which is the right one available here to use on N47T/F10 engine ?

jackdd Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Your owner's manual should specify the minimum required grade, just buy this grade or a better one. 8 minutes ago, transam said: https://5series.net/forums/attachments/e60-discussion-2/139910d1359582692-mobil-1-0w-40-ll01-vs-ll04-bmw-ll-04-approved-oils.pdf The document says these oils must not be used outside of Europe. At least OP knows which oils he should not use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regedit Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 I'm struggling to find anything available here that specifically says LL-04. Closest is C3 (Porsche approved) which is ACEA C3 which manual says is an alternative spec. I don't think its as simple as sticking in any 5W-30...

seedy Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 SCAM Long Life engine oil does not exist - except in the minds of the marketers. Oil does not break down, it gets contaminated and the additive package gets depleted. Which is why it needs to be changed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyIdea Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) I wouldn't use anything less than "40" of good quality in Thailand. Edited December 21, 2021 by MikeyIdea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAS21 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 With the money you save put some Ceratec in. We changed the oil on a friends E63 and he said he had never seen his running oil temp so low before. I have now ‘won’ a pump for extracting the oil out via dipstick holder…well until next year. Actually very cheap to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
