Neebie here, just want to start to do the oil change myself. But right now, got a bit hard time on what I should be choosing.
Right now, I'm using the Pennzoil 5W40 euro, cause it's LL01 approved for my bmw 550i. But I live in Canada, and in winter it could get -30C(-22F) easily, and the cold start noise can be a bit load. So I'm thinking of switching.
The Mobile 1 FS 0W40 is on sale at this moment. But it only have MB229.5, VW503 01 and Porsche A40 approved, no LL01. Will that gonna be an issue?
Between the two oil, which one would you choose? One has better protection in the winter time, but no LL01 approval. One has it, but will 5w40 be enough for the -30C weather?
Any advice would be appreciate
