Evening Zennon

Special BMW approval for fully synthetic long-life oil. Viscosities are SAE 0W-30, 0W-40, 5W-30 and 5W-40. Usually required for BMWs equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF). ... This specification requires a low SAPS, usually ACEA C5 compliant, 0W20 oil. As long as they meet LL04 as a minimum

The real trick I am told is interim oil changes leaving  changes until the service indicator triggers is not good for these engines

Many thanks for your reply I am definatly going to use a 5w30 c3 low saps oil. What is the best brand to use for these engines im thinking of castrol edge or something like that and I plan on changing the oil every 4000 miles.
