Engine Oil for M52

[Crymson]

Anyone know which semi synthetic engine oil is suitable for a 12 year old, already overhauled, M52 engine that meets BMW's specification?

*Sigh*

Most engine oil will do just fine. To meet the so-call "requirement", make sure if have ACEA A1/A3, API SM, weight x-30 to x-50, prefer BMWLL01 , VW 505.00, or MB 229.3 and etc

Don't sigh laaa. I know this issue have been discussed millions of times.

So it's A1/A3 not B3. I want to just confirm that. Tq
