Petrol/Gas US Oil for B58 Engines

Edit: Disregard my post, LL-12FE+ is a BMW supersession for LL04 in their BMW Branded TurboPower oils

Anyone know the specific differences between LL01/LL04 and LL12FE+?

@Jayman1 I can understand going with a heavier oil, but why go with one that doesn't meet any of the (confusingly several) BMW specs that are mentioned for the B58?

See Post #18

Or were you asking for oil-specific spec’s?

Disregard, I did further Googling and found that LL-12FE+ is the supersession of BMW branded LL-04; I hadn't seen it mentioned in the thread yet

I’ve been fortunate enough to push a few vehicles to the high 200K miles - and I’ve lost a couple before 100K too. I’m a firm believer in synthetic oils AND not changing brands or viscosity unless you’re drastically changing the demands you’re putting on the vehicle. I have no scientific data. Just superstitious.
