Hey guys,

Does anyone have a VOA of this?

I'm currently running it on my B58 in Canada as they didn't have X-cess Gen 2 in stock for my B58. I was told that it's fine to use as long as OCI is low (5k miles)

I heard we can use LL-04 in NA now as our fuels have low sulphur since 2017.

Can someone confirm this?

Have you searched the VOA sub?
 
This oil may be "low-SAPS", but its TBN is pretty healthy at 9.4, compared to the minimum of 6.0 for that ACEA C3 and LL-04 require, and just below the requirement of 10.0 for A3/B4 and LL-01.

It meets the MB 229.52 standard, which has more stringent engine testing requirements than MB 229.5 high-SAPS standard, or any BMW standard for that matter.

I don't see any problem with using it for a the recommended OCI.

actually its mid saps and tbn is not an issue since you guys have low sulphur now.
 
Huge thanks for the data, couldn't find it anywhere but apparently it being in another language is why lol

Thats what I figured, I read since 2017, gas sulphur is limited is 10ppm which is low.
