Does it meet the BMW LL04 & ACEA C3 spec?  Normally LL04 is 0w30 or 5w30.

You’ll need two containers to do a full change.  Somewhere around 7 litres from memory.

Thanks

Just picked up 2 x 4l 5w30 LL castrol edge titanium , which is to spec and what I’ve used

£24.50 each, so £50 for 8 litres is good value imo
