5W-30 LL for Mercedes and BMW with A3/B4 profile for vehicles without specific DPF requirements and with classic longlife focus.
5W-30 LL synthetic for Mercedes and BMW is aimed at modern passenger cars without a specific DPF focus, where a classic A3/B4 longlife profile is required. The product is designed for gasoline and diesel engines, with or without turbocharging, and is especially relevant for vehicles built around older longlife or high-HTHS requirements.
Unlike low-ash C3 or C4 oils, filter compatibility is not the primary focus here; instead, it offers a robust, classic 5W-30 for engines without corresponding exhaust aftertreatment requirements. This technical approach remains highly relevant across many BMW and Mercedes vehicles.
For suitable applications, this oil is a solid choice between smooth operation and dependable longlife capability.
Suitable for gasoline and diesel engines without specific DPF requirements where ACEA A3/B4, Mercedes-Benz 229.5, BMW Longlife-01, Opel GM-LL-A/B-025 or VW 502.00/505.00 are specified.
What does LL stand for in this oil?
