I think most of us that have Higher mileage Euro cars trust Valvoline enough to run it regardless of an actual approval. Valvoline doesn’t really make any bad products.
Just bought two jugs (10 Liters) of the 5w-40 wich is recomended for BMW-LL04, MB229.51, VW 505.01 and Porsche A40.
While it´s no offcial approvals, i trust Valvoline when the say "Recommended for...".
I am happy that it finnaly arrived here and in the proper 5w-40 viscositiy range wich is hugely popular here.
