[QUOTE="Schwepps, post: 361758, member: 3592"] Not really bro. LL04 has more to do with meeting 2005 European emission standards than anything else and was introduced in 2004 particularly for BMW diesels with diesel particulate filters (DPF). Of course there's no harm in moving up to LL04 if you can find/afford it, because it's backward compatible. Just like paying for 0W oil, do we really need it in this country? A quality LL01 5W-30 or 5W-40 is good enough really. The base oil stock is the same stuff, the rest is just more, or more costly, tweaking additives. [/QUOTE]
