You probably could run SAE30 in your car on a 3k mile oci.

any reccomendations for Oil on the B46 motors?
I found some confusing info for oil for my 2019 430i X-Drive Convertible with the B46 Motor.
One site recommends 0W-20 LL-14FE another 5W-30 or 5W-40 LL-01 any ideas on this? I'm finding it difficult to get maint. specs like oil filter and spark plug etc part numbers, any help with links would be great as well. |

Use the oil grade recommended in your manual. Use this for part numbers:

To support the Rotella usage in non diesel engines. Here is a photo of my old 2003 Audi 1.8T head after ~60K of Rotella T6 (~6 OCI). The head had 160K miles on it but you couldn't tell

Run Penzoil Ultra/ or Platinum Euro, Liqui Molly or Rotella T6. All will be good oils and change no more than 6K miles and you are good.

Just ordered the LL-04 BMW oil since I am currently in Italy. It says it's for diesel or gas in EU. Below are the BMW part numbers. For $1.50 more a quart I rather get the BMW one than guess with aftermarkets. Still less than half of what Europeans pay. I am also not bothering at all with the 0W-20 LL-14 FE+.
83212365946 - BMW TwinPower Turbo 5W-30 LL-01 (all gas) 83212365949 - BMW TwinPower Turbo 5W-30 LL-04 (all diesel, EU gas only) 83212365954 - BMW TwinPower Turbo 0W-20 FE+ Engine Oil LL-14 FE+ Quote:

I change mine every 5-6000 miles anyways, even with LL-01 Castrol. I would recommend the same if you're set on using a non-LL-01 oil. Otherwise, spend the extra couple bucks for a BMW certified oil.

Dexos is probably fine too, if you're out of warranty. If you're within warranty don't give BMW a reason to deny a claim, no matter how bogus the reason may be,

The only thing using it will harm is BMW's bottom line. To carry the LL classification they'd have to pay BMW a royalty, as the LL classification is subject to BMW's copyright.

Wow, I didn't know about LL-01; first time bmw owner. Don't want to void my warranty, I'm going to return the oil and get some LL-01 oil. Thanks everyone.
