Well.... i asked to see what are the opinnions of people who know more about oil than i do ( i know almost nothing about oils), so your opinion is more than welcome. No1 : I dont exactly get what you mean: should i take a sample a 7000Km, then let's say another one at 10000 Km ? No 2 and 3 You...

Hi guys, I've done an oil analysis recently for Ravenol REP. I thought to post here the comparison between REP and BMW LL 04 5w30. The car is a BMW M2 G87 S58 engine. Ravenol REP was used for 7000 Km (including 2 track days), BMW oil was used for 6000 Km (no track usage). Left column is voa...

Hi Nathan! The car has 16000 Km or 10000 Miles in total. I know nothing about oil, but i did a little research on my own and indeed the new oil report looks very strange to me, basically all the additives are less than in the used oil. The biggest difference is calcium which is 400, and what...

Hi guys, Just got the results from my first UOA. The car is BMW M2 G87, S58 engine. The oil is BMW LL04 5W30 used for 4000 Miles. I have a 2% fuel dilution, but before taking the sample i did 2 very short trips with the car in cold temperature. I dont use this car for short trips, only long...

Ok, ok, i think i understand what you mean. So even if it's writen in the manual, if it doesn't say requierd, it means it's just a recommendation, it's not "obligatory".

I apolgize for the confusion, english is not my native language and i didn't pay enough attention. The manual say "adequate oil" for LL-12FE and LL-19FE, and alternative oil: ACEA C2 and C3 but only for top up and maximum 1L.

I have to go to the dealer. Car is in break in period.

It says the adequate oil is LL-12FE or LL-19FE, with a weight of 0W30. The manual doesn't say anything about LL-04

I guess that was their internal software or something like that.

I talked with 2 guys, one was for sure a parts person and the other was service writer i guess, they showed me a software they have in which was indicated they have to use the oil mentioned above. But they also mentioned that's the oil they use on all the cars and they don't have any problems ha ha!

Hi guys! I just got a M2 G87 and the break in period is about to end. I talked with the guys at the BMW dealer for the break in service and they told me they will use 5w30 oil with the LL 04 spec. The car's manual says the recommended oil is 0W30 with LL 12FE or LL19FE spec. I find it odd the...
