I know, weird...
Up to you. But I've done some research before and over the past few days. There are a couple of Motul and Red Line oils that have better specs than the Liqui Moly 0W30 as far as I could tell. (I looked it up because I'm in the middle of an oil switch myself...)
FWIW if you're inclined, check out:
- Red Line 0W30 (Not BMW approved, but performance designed to replace LL01-FE oil with an extremely low pour point and other numbers are good)
- Motul 8100 X-Max 0W40 (Not BMW approved but on par with LL01 and seems like an excellent oil with a great HTHS)
- Motul 8100 X-Cess gen2 5W40 (BMW LL01 approved, same flash point and pour point as the 0W40 - pour point is one reason why we buy the 0 weight? - with a higher HTHS, this seems like the silver bullet go-to from now on especially in summer and/or if tuned)
Oil can be debated for weeks, so not trying to impose my views on your oil choice. Just wanted to share what I've learned over the past few days.
