Liqui Moly, Fuchs, Motul all of them have LL-01FE oil but you will have to find a local supplier/seller. I would try going to their US websites and see if that provides any local leads...Thanks in advance.
I think I’ll just use LL-01 5/30. It’s not approved but widely available.Motul has specific LL01 5W30.
I would use regular LL01.
What vehicle and year is this for?I think I’ll just use LL-01 5/30. It’s not approved but widely available.
You can use any grade that has LL01. Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W40 is almost 5W30.I think I’ll just use LL-01 5/30. It’s not approved but widely available.
Maybe he wants it to help with FE? The LL01FE is good enough for 500 hp M3 and M4..
Why use LL-01FE when there's LL-01 readily available?

This is from my owners manual 2019 540.Maybe he wants it to help with FE? The LL01FE is good enough for 500 hp M3 and M4.
Only mail order (FCPEuro, Blauparts, EAS Tuning, Autohauz, etc)Thanks in advance.
This is CAFE. The B-Series engines were were designed to allow 20w oils. Technically this engine can run up to 5w40 (LL01/LL04). The document was available online until BMW started forcing sites to take down the information a couple of years ago.This is from my owners manual 2019 540.
I believe as soon as warrant up I will use penzoil ultra platinum euro 5/30 but I’ve got more than a year left of warranty.
Makes sense however I’m sure if any need for warranty repair BMW would point to wrong oil.This is CAFE. The B-Series engines were were designed to allow 20w oils.

For example look at post 19 https://www.bmwpassion.com/forum/threads/la-mia-120i-b48-stadio-ii-road-to-longvalley.371307/
This is the B48 (4-cylinder) but the oil requirement is the same for the B58 (I6)
Only if engine damage was caused by the oil. No oil with Longlife-01 approval is going to cause engine damage.Makes sense however I’m sure if any need for warranty repair BMW would point to wrong oil.
