BMW B58 gen3 - Limited engine oil choices?

[ps2cho]

I would use XW-30 Mobil ESP.

I think that’s what I’ve decided, both for my S55 and B58. Should work great and it’s cheap at Walmart for $28/5qt

Take advantage of the $10 per jug rebate offer by Mobil 1 through August. Details on posted in the rebates/sales section of the forum.
Limit four jugs/$40. I just filed for mine for ESP 0w-30.

You could just run Ravenol VMP or ESP 5W-30 in all of them also. VMP is C3 and 3.7 HTHS. The only downside is price.

VMP is about $20 a liter including shipping from BlauParts

I have been running Motul LL-01 FE 0w30 in my family member’s 2025 X5 because the owners manual says that is an acceptable oil when not using the 0w12. I buy it from FCP Euro. It’s strange that it doesn’t say LL-17 FE but I’m not going to complain.

LL17FE is only 0W20.
