Below is the original post. Where does it say meets spec? The OP asked "What other oils are available that are LL-01 or LL-01FE rated as an 0w-30?" I offered a possible solution to his question and presented an oil that meets or exceeds listed specs. I never said it met the requested specs. I simply screenshoted the information off the Amsoil site for the OP to review. I thought that is what the forum was for? Sharing information and interest. So, go troll someone else
Hi All,
Coming up on an oil change in my BMW 335i F30. Currently running Castrol 5w-40 A3/B4 and would like something thinner for winter cold starts and improving engine efficiency. It looks like this engine (N55) can use BMW's LL-01FE spec oils which is a 0w-30. What other oils are available that are LL-01 or LL-01FE rated as an 0w-30? For my BMW my search would be for the cheapest LL-01 0w-30 I can find.
Looks like Castrol 0w-30 A3/B4 available at Walmart is no longer LL-01 rated... bummer.
Thanks!
