Oil change for 2014 BMW 328d

[Freeborn_John]

If you value your warranty then use a genuine BMW filter and high quality oil, keep the receipts.
Woe betide the man who tries to warrant an engine with a pattern filter, BMW are not sympathetic...

LL-04 is a proprietary BMW oil spec. It's baselined on ACEA C3, and then there are additional BMW-specific tests performed on N20 and N42 engines. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find what these specific wear tests entail. But judging by the Lubrizol performance spider charts, the LL-04 spec exceeds ACEA C3 requirements when it comes to wear, piston deposits, and oxidative thickening.
