Motul Specific 0w30 LL-01 FE VOA

[forcefedS58]

Haven't seen an analysis of this oil yet so decided to get it done, just put into my 2023 m3.
Here's the motul 5w30 variant analysis to compare to https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/motul-specific-ll-01-fe-5w30-voa.343716/
And the 0w30 bmw tpt its replacing https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/bmw-twin-power-turbo-tpt-0w30-api-sp.340420/

 

[fantastic]

Good amount magnesium additive & good viscosity.

That's pretty thick for a 0W30 and especially an A5/B5 (which is a low HTHS oil). Thank you for spending the money on the VOA and sharing with the community. I'll add it to the VOA database.

Wow thanks for doing this, I have been looking at buying this in the last few days. The viscosity at 100 is much thicker than the data on Motul's website which shows ~9.8 IIRC. Where did you buy the jug?

lol

$63 per jug, so you got a great deal, and that was with my work discount. Lordco Auto Parts here on the west coast.

The 5w30 I can get for $54 per jug but I wanted this one.

Friends, I sold my BMW and have a half dozen of 5 liter jugs of this oil (stacked them up at a %50 off sale last year). I can’t use them in my E46 M3, as it calls for 10w60 oil. So I wanted to ask if I can run this Motul Specific LL-01 FE 0w-30 oil in my 1996 W140 Mercedes-Benz S500 with the M119 motor? Would be nice to use them and free up shelf space. Thanks in advance.

did they replace the specific 5w-30 with this 0w-30? (both LL-01FE) i see fcp only carries 0w now and no longer 5w.

also if choice between this motul 0w-30 FE vs TPT 0w-30 FE for S58 engine under warranty, this is a better choice vs OEM oil?

No one knows if it’s better or not. It’s a tad bit thicker otherwise similar. LL01 full is ok under warranty according to TIS. I would use M1 0W-40 in an S58.

Flashpoint and TBN are certainly up-there.
