2016 x5 40e Oil

Oil spec per manual is Long life 01-FE 0w-20

I want to buy an oil change kit from a forum vendor but it’s not a popular model and none of the site filters seem to support the model. Can someone point me to a site to buy from?

Found the long life 14 stuff for N20 but I prefer to stick to manual.

Manual says
Quote:
Viscosity grades
Gasoline engine:
When selecting an engine oil, make sure that
the engine oil has the viscosity grade SAE
0W-30 or SAE 0W-20. Alternatively, also engine
oils with viscosity grades SAE 5W-20,
SAE 5W-30, SAE 0W-40 or SAE 5W-40 can
be used.
The viscosity grades SAE 0W-20 or SAE
5W-20 are only suitable for particular engines.

Quote:
You can add engine oils that meet the following
oil rating standards:
Gasoline engine
BMW Longlife-01 FE.
So you can use OEM BMW 0W30 oil kit from FCP Euro for example

It doesn't say anywhere that you must use only 0W20.
