Sorry, another oil thread 😬

Has anyone used this in there M240i G42?

It’s API SP, BMW LL04 & LL19FE. It’s also ACEA 3 which means the HTHS is 3.5 offering better protection when pushing on.

I know it’s not a recommended oil but I’m in the camp that the thinner ACEA C2/C5 lower HTHS sub 3.0 oils are designed primarily to meet BMW CAFE economy/ emissions requirements.

This is in the G87 section but anyway I think this oil is a great choice for B58 or S58. One of the best off-the-shelf oils by the approvals and specs. I agree with you on the low HTHS oils being purely for fuel economy reasons.
