Motul LL-01FE oils

I noticed the data sheet on these two oils are identical, aside from a tiny difference in KV40 which could easily be a typo. Are they really bottling the same oil in two different bottles? The first oil doesn't say LL-01FE on the data sheet, but it does on the bottle. It has a couple other approvals as well.

Well then I would consider them the same. Difference in KV are probably within the margin of error.

"Precision — Precision of the viscometer meets D445, which specifies repeatability of less than 0.11 percent on base oils to 0.26 percent on formulated oils and reproducibilities at 40°C and 100°C of 0.65 and 0.76 percent respectively."

Advantages of Kinematic Viscosity Measurement in Used Oil Analysis - Part II

In the September-October issue of Practicing Oil Analysis, several advantages of using standardized test methodology were discussed, for example, the use of ASTM D445 for the viscosity measurement...
