What oil do/would you use in a pinch when BMW spec isn’t available
I just got the warning light that the engine is a liter low on oil driving home tonight. I have my 24k mi oil change scheduled for next Thursday, but have an Offroad event tomorrow and don’t really want to wheel it hard when I know I’m low on oil.
autoZone and Advanced don’t sell anything to the bmw LL-17 specs. I ended up going with Mobil 1 ESP2 0w20, which was the only European spec oil I could get in 0w20 and is approved for Mercedes, VW, and Porsche on the label.
hopefully it doesn’t blow up on me, but since I know I’m going for the oil change in a few days, I’m not overly concerned, but if there’s something better in a pinch that’s readily available, I’d like to know.
