    Euro C5/C6 same as ILSAC 0w20

    It doesn't get too cold. I'm in Niagara area and vehicle is kept in garage. Unless I take it out, car gets short tripped by my wife. I was looking at Pennzoil Euro 0w30 but has no approval and API SN.

    Euro C5/C6 same as ILSAC 0w20

    Only 0w Mobil XP I see is 0w30 in quarts or litre bottles for over $18. That's what we have in Canada. The Mobil 1 XP 5w30 is available in 5 l jugs and is available on sale for $40 every so often.

    Euro C5/C6 same as ILSAC 0w20

    I could. Only available in 5w30. Thought of going back to 0w20 for winter months ahead. Manual calls for either 0w20 or 0w30. It's my wife's vehicle and it's start and go for her. I think the 0w will be better for flow.

    Euro C5/C6 same as ILSAC 0w20

    I've got Mobil 1 esp 5w30 (BMW LL 04) API SP in this past spring and summer. I want to go back to 0w20 this winter. I found Castrol Edge Euro 0w20 with BMW LL 17 approval in quarts only. 5 QTS will cost over $100 with tax.

    Euro C5/C6 same as ILSAC 0w20

    My interest is in the BMW LL 17 fe+ 0w20 spec. Very hard to find and to order will be around $70 cdn.

    Euro C5/C6 same as ILSAC 0w20

    I think there is no difference between Euro C5/6 0w20 oil and ILSAC API SP. I see VOA on both and can't seem to find any difference. I know the 30 grade Euro oil has a HT/HS of 3.5 vs 3 but the 20 seems the same. Any thoughts?

    I remember B/A gas stations in the 60's . My dad used to get his gas at B/A. I remember the Veedol name. It was a popular oil in the past.

    2020 BMW X3 2.0 oil recommendation?

    Check your manual again. It's either 0w20 BMW LL 17 or 0w30 BMW LL 01 Fe. BMW LL 01 is for top up. This is if you are under warranty. After warranty, any 5w30 or 0w30 that meets BMW LL 01 or BMW 04 will be good.

    0w30 or 5w30 for a 2018 BMW X1

    I think Rowe has a 0w30 that meets the LL-12. The other 0w30 meets LL-04. I'll find out next oil change. I think the LL-12 is the mid sap recommended for the new B series engines along with the 0w20 LL-17.

    0w30 or 5w30 for a 2018 BMW X1

    The Euro shop I went to last year uses German Rowe oil. I had them put in 0W20 which has the BMW LL-17 approval. This summer, I'll have them put in 0W30 BMW LL-12 or 0W30 BMW LL-04.

    0w30 or 5w30 for a 2018 BMW X1

    JimPghPA. If I go with a 5w30, it will be for summer. In winter I'll go with a 0w. I don't know about any battery tester. The X1 is five years old now so I know at some point the battery will go. Maybe I'll get it checked out when I get service done. Thanks for your input.

    0w30 or 5w30 for a 2018 BMW X1

    I know 0w30 is one of the recommended grades. I think either 0w30 or 5w30 will be great in our engines. Thanks Titan. PS. LOL, don't worry, your not a knuckle head

    0w30 or 5w30 for a 2018 BMW X1

    My 2018 was built in 2017 but the LL 17FE probably wasn't out yet when the manual was put out. The oil recommendation was either 0w30 LL 01FE+ or the 0w20 LL 14+ . Later 0w20 got updated to LL 17 FE+. The new engines now are still 0w20 LL17 but the 0w30 is LL12+ I think. I did see that someone...
