VOA - BMW TwinPower Turbo LL01FE 0W-30

[mattsheng]

Brought this TPT LL01FE from my local dealer a week ago and put it in my B46TU1 engine. Will report back after 4-5k miles with a used oil analysis.

Nice! I'm sure the BMW folks will enjoy this. Big dose of Magnesium.

Interesting. Ti 20 ppm, B 170 ppm, Mo 77 ppm, Mg 900 ppm.
If a current TPT LL-01 (or LL-04) could be similar? Castrol I guess.

Here is the TPT LL-01 I posted earlier this year: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/voa-bmw-ll-01-twinpower-turbo-5w30.365608/#post-6395815. Blackstone didn't find any Ti in that oil and Moly is pretty much nonexistent. TPT LL-01 has much higher Ca and much lower Mg as well.

It has BMW Longlife-01FE approval. Not too secret.
