Why do you and the BMW website advocate LL01 oils which have weights that differ greatly from what was specified on the engine by the manufacturer? If BMW does not require testing of LL01 above 0W40 a weight, BMW does not recommend for any of its engines, per the part number written on them , why then do quite a few oils from manufacturers such as motul, total, pentosin, etc have LL01 approved oils with weights above 0W Why did BMW test, and approve those oils, but not use them in the M engines?

Private First Class. So what oil i need to use? Originally Posted by GodLy. Originally Posted by ceb. If you're in Europe then you need LL oil. Originally Posted by roundle.

Yup, LL04 0W Take a look at Castrol 5w it states on the label that it is designed for bmws. It also meets all certifications for Castrol 0W If you go by certification you would think that Castrol 5w is the same as Castro's 0w Why risk using royal purple or amsoil or any other oil without that LL certification?

Castorl 0W and Mobil 1 have that certification. It solves rpm fluctuating upon cold start-up. It contains the actual BMW codes. Last edited by Chriztofor; at PM.. MacGuberman 9.

If you can make out those blue markings on the Oil Filter housing, you have to match those when you re-tighten. It's just behind the front-center jack point.

Remove the hatch so it doesn't interfere when you're undoing the drain bolt. It should come off using hand-power but sometimes it might be set just too tight. If this is the first break-in oil change on your car, then the bolt will have a silver metal washer - don't reuse it.

If the oil has been changed before, then the bolt will have a copper crush washer - don't reuse it. If the bolt was over torqued by the BMW technician who did your previous oil change, now's the time to put all that gymming to good use.

Be careful - if the wrench slips you will get hurt. If your calculations were correct, then it'll shoot straight into the Oil Drain Pan. You can see from the picture that I was a little bad at math. Not as bad as aiming for the Moon and landing on Mars but a mess nonetheless. Using the plastic fork pry out the 2 o-rings big black and small green on the housing, and replace them with the new o-rings that came with the new Oil Filter.

Note the position of the black o-ring. If you position this incorrectly, the housing won't fit back properly onto the engine. You can use a screw driver or a metal fork too if you wish. Also put that new copper crush washer on to the drain bolt now. Just pour small amounts of oil directly onto the filter and watch the material soak it up - nice way to pass time as by now you're bored that all this is taking too long.

Don't over-tighten. Also replace the Oil Filter housing with the new Oil Filter and the new o-rings installed. Pour in the new oil - a funnel helps channel it straight into the engine.

You want the oil in your engine, not on it. Rubber hoses and plastic trim will corrode early if engine oil spills on them. The new Oil is cooler than the one you got out so let the engine warm up a bit and then check your oil levels. If there is a puddle, then the drain bolt might not be set properly.

Otherwise you're all set. Thanks for reading! Due credit to the E90Post. Last edited by aah78 : 26th November at The following BHPian Thanks aah78 for this useful post: noelnelly. Nice and informative D. Good deal aah!! I just did mine last month. Soaking the filter is a good idea
