2004 BMW 320d LLO4 instead of LL01?

[Zachlain]

Hi guys,

I am about to order some oil shortly and am thinking of getting the Fuchs Titan GT1 XTL synthetic oil from Opie oils.

However, the recommended oil for my car (04 320d Sport) is of the LL01 variety, but the Fuchs is LLO4. Will putting LL04 oil be suitable for my engine or shall I stick with oils that meet only LL01 specification?

Many thanks for any help.

I will answer my own question as I managed to get the answer from the net.

LL04 is backwards compatible and will therefore be suitable in place of LL01 oil.
