There was a recent thread (probably in the E90post diesel subforum, perhaps elsewhere) about oils for the diesels. The Motul would be my choice - nobody has anything bad to say about the 8100 product. Lots of people like the Castrol Edge (used to be BMW's OEM supplier.)

Also, fuel filter change should be every third oil change - 30K-39K miles.

Thanks, looks like I'll be buying the Motul because I've read that 5w30 is safer for the engine.

Shame because I've got 12 litres of 5w30 edge but it isn't LL04!
