Perfect Turbo oil ? Softtec LLO1

[zmeli]

http://www.castrol.com/castrol/productdetailmin.do?categoryId=9000613&contentId=7000676 This looks like a oil that would be perfect for summer heat in a Turbocharged engine. Wonder how it compares to GC?

Could this be what BMW sell over the counter? 5w-30 ACEA A3 LLO1 specs?

Yes. The oil sold at BMW dealers as "BMW LongLife" is Softec TXT 5w30.

Is this any better than GC?

Wonder how pricey this stuff is.

 

[zmeli]

Maybe someone can tell us the price? If it is priced close to the GC a VOA would be nice.

That is not the same oil as the US BMW Synth, which is labeled as being BMW LL-98

Here is a VOA of the current BMW Hi Performance Synthetic 5w-30. (2006 production date) I paid 5.75 for a quart, online I have seen it for $5-6.00 a quart plus shipping. BMW Hi Performance synthetic 5w-30 VOA
