Anyone use this stuff?

What's the diff between:

8100 X-Max 5W30 - LL01 rated
8100 X-Clean 5W40 - LL04 rated

Does LL04 mean it is a better oil or is it more for different engines (eg. diesel, euro engines, etc.)?

Finally, for the occasional track day, would 5W40 weight be better...

Would love to try the 300v, but it is too expensive!

Thanks all.

Hey, not sure if there is a language barrier here, but I'm pretty sure Motul does not mean Royal Purple in Italian. LOL.



Joking!

good one

I am a big fan of the XPR racing by RP since my 335i is a September 2006, no oil cooler.
Since I put that magic into my engine oil's temperature can't just go any higher of 120 degrees celsius no matter what
I mean, to get 122 degrees I have to drive for no less that 15 minutes in DS mode, second-third-second-third hitting the limiter over and over again.
Before the XPR any spirited driving meant 130 degrees celsius easy

I'm pretty sure I can get Royal Purple here somewhere - wonder what the cost would be...

Is RP LL-xx approved?

It's a more contemporary certification. I believe all E9x's call for LL04 ("Long Life 2004" afaik) oil but LL01 satisfies warranty requirements.

Or, you could just

I would use german castrol syntec 0 w30. It has a viscosity similar to a 5w40 and is BMW LL01 approved. Cdn tire 9.99 a L.

I didn't think Cdn Tire has the Euro version of Castrol Syntec. AFAIK, the primary source for Euro Castrol is BMW dealerships themeselves. In any event, I'm pretty sure the BMW dealership oil is cheaper than $9.99L.

JRP has em..i saw on their website..they are in sauga

If you really want Motul, there's the LL-04 Specific 5W-40...but I assume it's probably similar to the X-Clean since it's also LL-04 and 5W-40?

It's castrol syntec. It says made in Germany on the back of the bottle Nate. Better than the dealer oil. Go to bobistheoilguy.com and read reviews.
