QS Euro

[chefwong]

I've read the past threads and is there a consensus
Is QS the same a PP E

Just consider QS as a mid-cycle oil change on N62TU3 in between Manuf. Yearly OCI
I've done one mid cycle sofar with Castrol 0W40...have alot in the garage.
Not sure if worthwhile to just buy some QS for mid cycle while in warranty since technically it LL01FE rated

There was a thread trying to decipher if the base oil was GTL in the QS vs conventional group 3, but I think the consensus was both could be used, based on their SDS. Both have very much the same specifications. I would just stick with the Castrol 0w40 that you have. the warranty sees the required annual changes done at the dealer and the Castrol will work perfectly.

Slightly annoying as the NAG screen on the OCI comes up and since I do my own mid-cycle, I aim to stretch it to about 5K on my mid cycle, which I may not stretch that much as the NAG sceen doesn't go away unless you hit the (confirm message) each and every time the car is started..


Basically. NAG remains on the infotainment screen (no carplay, no nav, no nothing) unless you click:confirm on the scheduled OCI nag..

I'm due for a scheduled OCI and only have like 2500 miles on my current mid cycle OCI....and may just go to dealer at 3500 miles.....or whenever I cannot deal with the NAG any further

How much longer is it in warranty? Personally, I'd use the 0W-40 you already have and not think twice about it. Otherwise, sell me your Castrol .

The specs are very similar, but there was one number that was very slightly different.

QS Euro 5w-40 is LL01 not LL01FE. But fine to use in place of LL01FE.
I used the QS on my N62TU2 last year, but this year using Pennzoil Euro L 5w-30 LL04. I got a bunch on sale a while back.
