Hello folks.
Sorry if this was discussed before, but I couldn’t find a definitive answer.
Trying to help my dad with an oil purchase for his 15 BMW X5 diesel, it calls for LL-12FE oil. While doing search on bitog, most threads just start with ll-12 and end up with ll-04 discussions.
Is it safe to assume ll-04 will work just fine? If not, what will be the oil you can recommend?
 
It looks like fcpeuropower has an oil change kit that says Twin power bmw oil. Lubrizol might make another compatible oil.

LL04 is going to work, and that is what I would use in it too.
In Europe, N57 is recommended for LL04.
