Ravenol SSL 0w-40 still has it
It's a very old spec at this point, what modern BMW vehicles still call for it? Mobil doesn't have a single flagship (Mobil 1) product that carries it and has now relegated it to being held by one of its 2nd tier ones, Mobil Super Synthetic. I believe Garak noted that a bulk 5w-40 they sold in Canada never lost LL-01 when it slipped out of the Mobil 1 product line.
BMW still provides TPT 5W30 LL01. Actually I bought it in BMW dealership in January.
All modern BMW vehicles are still having LL01 and LL04 in manual.
As for Ravenol, I high doubt Ravenol changes formulations as often as others.
Right now I am leaning on a side of being updated.
New or old stock?
Perhaps throw the part # in realoem.com to see if it has been discontinued?
Nope, local dealership here still gets it on regular basis.
