LL04 5W/30

Opie oils will supply it for a good price from various brands.

They are not too bad to be honest. I paid £12 for a litre from sytners parts desk, just ask for a discount. That is cheaper than halfrauds

pretty sure you need thick end of 8 litres for an oil change !

in the trade club Genuine Audi oil (Quantum) same spec is only £28 for 5 litres , it too is 5/30 longlife oil , the Audi stuff is good for 25,000 miles on the tdis so I will be tempted to use this ???

hi dont no if u now but it changed oil to slx 0/30 slx longlife work at a dealership matt

Should we take up a collection to get the punctuation and caps keys fixed on your computer? Maybe I'm thick (OK, so no maybe about it) but I can't make heads or tails out of your post.

Assuming you need a LongLife-04 oil (because of the particulate filter) have a search for Mobil ESP on ebay - you should be able to buy it for £10/litre shipped to your door.

I believe it changed to 0w30 too. That's what is says on the castrol site.

ok mate sorry for the spelling mistakes, just like to tell you i work for bmw and i know what oil goes into them there all 0/30 except the 123d m5(e39)(e60) m3(e36)(e46)(e92/e90/e92) wich is tws 10w 60

[noumenon]

Where's the cheapest to get it? I could do with a couple of litres to have around for topping up.

Are the 3.0d units thirsty for oil? Only done 200 miles in mine, so no idea if it drinks or not yet.

I bought a litre of the Castrol 0-30 LL04 yesterday from Scothalls in Ruislip for 15 quid looking at the Opie website it's 14 quid on there, doesn't seem a bad deal from the stealer suprisingly.
