![]() ![]() ![]() Of course, among LL04 there are good, better and really good oils. Full stop! If oil does not have LL04 approval (not meet or exceeds BS) it is not oil for this engine. This topic was discussed numerous times and I wrote to detail what each specification means and what it does and why some oils had LL04 or LL01 and now do not have any more. Tested for use with turbochargers and catalytic converters.Īny comment on the compatibility of this oil for my X5? Exception: R5 and V10 TDI engines before manufacture year 06/2006. Also suitable for gas-driven vehicles (CNG/LPG) and vehicles with a diesel particulate filter (DPF), even if retrofitted. Depending on the manufacturer's specifications, oil change intervals of up to 30,000 or 50,000 km or every 2 years for low mileage drivers are thus possible.įor gasoline and diesel engines that meet the Euro 4, Euro 5 and Euro 6 emission standards (including FSI, common rail and pumped jet injection). Outstanding protection against wear, reduces oil and fuel consumption and ensures fast oil penetration of the engine. High-tech low-friction motor oil based on synthetic technology. Other information on the Liqui Moly sites says: But I have noticed the Mobil 1 ESP has dropped the BMW LL 04 spec?Īnd backward compatible to all the other VW and BMW approvals. I used to run the Mobil 1 ESP formula 5/30 because it met both requirements and very low saps etc. So an oil that meets both BMW LL 04 and VW 507.00 specs in a 5/30 oil. They added that after folks at bitog were posting a lot of threads showing how weak the API specs were in comparison to the ACEA specs.I am looking for an oil that I can use in both my 2012 X5 35D and my 2015 VW Sportwagen TDI. "The performance charts are not a literal translation of a performance specification and should not be used as a replacement for evaluating engine oil performance in accordance with the relevant vehicle manufacturers requirement's". Relative Performance Comparison Tool for Passenger Car Specifications - Engine Oil Additives - The Lubrizol Corporation Have a look at wear in C3-16 vs A3/B4 16 and you'll see why I recommend X-Cess (or any A3 oil) in the EJ. I would pick EFE between the new X-Clean but I'm trying to find out more details from Motul.Ĭheck out the Lubrizol Relative Performance Comparison Tool to get an idea of differences between some of the specs. Also non-metallic additives are used that do not show up in uoa's. When ZDDP is reduced, better base stocks are used and more multi-functional anti-wear additives are used. SA is a concern for DI engines and trying to mitigate intake valve deposits which are not a concern in the EJ engine. ![]() 78% and the highest TBN, while the SA on FE is. Sulphated Ash gives you an idea of ZDDP levels and the old X-Clean had. I haven't checked if the latest C3 specs limit zinc. Old X-clean had around 1,000 ppm's of zinc which is similar to high SAPS oils and higher than C3 Mobil 1 ESP. A good thing, IMO, with the old X-Clean is that ACEA C3 limited phosphorus levels but did not limit zinc. So a rhetorical question.why do I always see information like this 1 day (seriously just changed the oil yesterday) after I do the "wrong" thing. The Sustina starts at 10.3 cSt at 100C and the Motul at 12.1.so that looks to be better right there, good thing I just changed the oil from Sustina at 3K to a new $80 batch of sustina. What specifically about the datasheet makes you think it will shear down to a 20wt? This is different than when I have change many other engines/changes using Mobil 1 5w30 (Non-ESP) and 0w20 which come out like water when draining out used oil after 3K miles. Just subjectively (with my calibrated mark 1 eyeball) it came out of the engine (slightly warm) about the same viscosity as it went in (for the fill from quart containers at about 60F). I am definitely interested in the EFE for multiple reasons.not the least of which is getting the best oil I can afford and get with a reasonable hassle, cost is definitely secondary. I will post the Blackstone report on the Eneos Sustina when I get it back in a week or so. Click to expand.Just changed oil for 2nd fill (first was factory 2nd was Sustina) to a new batch of Sustina.
