Good point. I don't plan to use this in my BMW because I'm picky, maybe use it in my Saab, but the non Euro synthetic stuff which is even cheaper is fantastic for the average, everyday non Euro application, where people are concerned about cost of synthetic.

I just recently got rid of my 2004 Vue with the Honda V6 with 200k miles. Engine is great. Also has a Honda trany which can be fickle so change the trany fluid often. I had no issues with my trany. You also need to replace the timing belt every 100k miles as it is an interference engine. If the...

Being that we have low sulfur fuel in Canada for some time now, what are the thoughts of using LL-04 in a N55? Manual says it fine. Does LL-04 offer the same levels or better performance for volatility and protection? I thinking more the potential advantage of less intake valve deposits on a DI...

I recently installed the P7s, they are excellent. Smooth and quiet with very good performance.

Anyone know who makes this specific oil Motomaster Formula 1 Euro 5W-30 as it meets BMW LL-04 which is impressive for the price, specially when it goes on sale. I'm sure its just re-labled something.
