Either Castrol changed the formulation or didn't work with BMW to get it certified. There are still some of the older bottles out that show LL01.

The section under product description shows it meets LL01 among some other manufacturers certifications. I suspect they just don’t have room on the front to display all of it.

Good! If there are more bottles with LL01 on them you might want to stock up a couple of oil changes worth.

I use Mobil 1 synthetic 0W40 for the 7 & the X5’s that run in the winter.
I use Mobil 1 synthetic 15W50 for all the cars when they run in warm weather.

Eh, BMW still sells it.

I'm using 0-30 as per BMW manual. Very thin oil. Must be for fuel economy and maybe the oil gets into the turbos quicker? Love the dip stick the diesels have. Not too much confidence in the computer generated gauge. Change oil myself in-between BMW paid changes. Costs me less than $100 and an hour of my time. Down here in FL the dealerships want between $300 and $375 for an easy job. In Birmingham AL $115. Bought two cars from BMW Birmingham. Aggressive pricing and good service department.

Anyone noticed higher temps with Pennzoil vs Castrol. I'm not sure if I'm just not recalling correctly but I feel like it sits higher in hot outside temps and sits colder in winter temps.

If I was running long oci, I'd use Motul Xcess since it has a similar formulation as Castrol but more additives PPM.
