What is the most suitable oil for the imported BMW 2015 3.0TN55B30 engine

➡️ It is the experience of many car owners and stores to use 5W/40 for BMW cars. Actually, there aren't that many BMW engines with 5W/40!

➡️ BMW engines with the same displacement have different structures, and these engines with different structures have different requirements for lubricating oil!

➡️ The viscosity of oil cannot be determined based on the age of the vehicle, and it is determined by the structure of the engine!

➡️ The six cylinder engine is a key area of development for BMW, with rapid modifications and numerous models, such as the B58. There is no visible change in the model, but in reality, it has undergone two upgrades with different oils!

➡️ The BMW inline six cylinder has both regular and high-performance versions, which use different oils!

Incorrect use of engine oil can affect fuel consumption, power, noise, and throttle pressure 🈶 Impact!

The engine of this BMW vehicle is a high-performance version, and the BMW manual recommends multiple specifications of LL-01 and LL-01FE. How should I choose ⁉️

Let's take a look

LL-01FE 5W/30：

one ⃣ HTHS is 2.9-3.5

two ⃣ 100 degree kinematic viscosity 9.3-12.5mm2/s

LL-01 5W/30：

one ⃣ HTHS greater than or equal to 3.5

two ⃣ 100 degree kinematic viscosity 12.3-12.4mm2/s

LL-01 5W/40

one ⃣ HTHS greater than or equal to 3.5

two ⃣ 100 degree kinematic viscosity 13.5-14.5mm2/s

⚠️ These specifications can meet the requirements of the engine, but the engine will exhibit different characteristics

‼️ LL-01FE 5W/30 is not the optimal fuel for this engine because the HTHS is less than 3.5

‼️ LL-01 5W/30 can make the engine more fuel-efficient, while LL-01 5W/40 can make the engine noise lower. Although these two specifications only differ in viscosity, they have essential differences!

The optimal oil for this engine is LL-01 5W/30

Attention!

LL-01 5W/30 cannot be replaced by SP/GF-6 5W/30. The HTHS of SP/GF-6 5W/30 cannot meet the requirement of LL-01 being greater than or equal to 3.5, and cannot provide sufficient lubrication, which will lead to a series of phenomena such as wear, loud noise, and oil burning

two ⃣ ACEA C3 does not meet the requirements of LL-01. C3 has insufficient cleaning ability and cannot replace each other. LL-01 is much stronger than C3 in controlling piston deposits

three ⃣ ACEA A3/B4 is not as good as LL-01 in terms of anti-wear and sludge control, which can lead to engine wear, piston ring jamming and other problems. LL-01 meets the requirements of A3/B4, but surpasses it

four ⃣ Meet the LL-01 oil requirements for raw materials 🈶 Strict requirements:

➡️ Base oil needs to meet LL-01 requirements

➡️ Additives need to meet LL-01 requirements

Therefore, meeting the LL-01 oil product is not cheap. Can 99 full synthetic and 199 full synthetic products on the market meet this standard? Of course not.
