Re: Engine oil to be use for F10

LM is LL04 ...... Tried that one and personally I think Mobil better.

Anyone use liqui moly top tec 4100 5w40 on f10? Gd?

Any recommendation where can I get gd price for Mobil 1 0w40 or liqui moly top tec 4100 5w40?

Mx trading selling Mobil 1 0w40 $14/litre. Can we get lower then this from other suppliers?

Thanks...

Re: Engine oil to be use for F10

Just saw Esso station selling Mobil 1 0w40 in gold bottle and mx trading selling Mobil 1 0w40 in silver bottle. Both is BMW LL01. Any idea wats the difference as there's quite a huge difference in pricing for these 2 oil although both are Mobil 1 0w40.

thanks

The gold one should be following the latest specs API SN. What do you see on the silver one for API ?

Was on Mobil 0w40 ....... Have you considered the german castrol ?

My first service i sent to MA i believe they were using castrol but unsure if it was the german version. My second service i sent to PML alexandra with BYO mobil 1 0w40 till now the drive is smooth n good, my butt feels that the second eo is better than the first one. Hence my third service i will stick with mobil 1 0w40. But my idrive prompts me to service at every 8000km. Hmmmmmm.

Today got a signal warning came out on my screen. "Please top up engine oil 1 litre soonest". However after I restart my engine the warning went off. Anyone encounter this before?

Heard some guys got that before. Some of them suspected its an oil level sensor problems and had it checked .....
