Also, I've had them put another oil by accident and they drained and refilled with the correct oil when I showed the service paperwork, so make sure LL01 is mentioned during your visit.
You can code the oil temperature in the sport menu using binmercode, or access it using the hidden menu as described here: Instrument Cluster Test https://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1415845
** Edit **
I have to double check but I think if you go to the full sport display screen on the 2021 it shows the oil temp without coding. |
Guys I'll be running 5W-40 LM then |
Get Quaker State Euro 5W40 on Wal Mart web page. It is repackaged Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W40.
Motul X-Cess 5W40 GEN2 would be my go to.
Liqui Moly is mediocre oil but they are pushing their oils hard to shops pitching as "German oil fir German cars."
Take into consideration that no German manufacturer uses Liqui Moly products. Any products!
