Oil Question...

Post by m3rk » Thu Mar 13, 2014 7:24 pm

Hi guys,

On way home, stopped off at a local motor factors for an litre top up for the X.

I've put 1/4 litre in to just top it up but afterwards looked at the bottle, it's Castrol Edge Fst 5w-30.

Is this oil ok? - Fully Synthetic BMW LL04 standard apparently  :blink:

Thanks, Mark

Absolutely fine.  Dealers use the 'pro' version of the same in either 0w30 or 5w30.
