Primary decision behind this is that different markets have different exploitation requirements. One can use LL)1 or LL01FE or LL-17FE etc. All of the recent BMW's require LL01FE or LL-17FE.Īll BMW new engines are approved for LL01 and FE oils. I am currently using (but considering going away from to X-clean EFE) Eneos Sustina 5w30 40C viscosity 51.5 100C viscosity 10.3 viscosity index 194 HTHS 3.1. viscosity that is 25 higher than other oils with an HTHS 3.0-3.1. So, which 2019MY+ BMW's require LL-01? That is the baffling part to me. One thing that I have noticed is that while the X-clean EFE is a HTHS 3.5 oil it also has a cold.
Compared to the existing products, both gen2 products have higher shear stability, longer oil life, and enhanced piston deposit control to avoid LSPI." I can get this for 40 locally so its not that expensive IMO.
#Motul xcess vs xclean wrx series#
Especially since those model years can go to 7,500 mile intervals. The Motul 8100 Series is 100 synthetic engine oil that has been formulated, developed and tested according to the most recent technical requirements of. "No compromises were made as the new OEM tests required a stronger additive package to maintain the BMW approval for 2019+ or receive new approvals from Porsche/VW (in the case of X-clean). IMO, this oil would be a good choice for 2011/2012 Subaru turbo owners that want to run a thick SM 5W-30 for warranty purposes. "Our primary reason for reformulating was due to new standards from BMW to meet their improved LL-01 and LL-04 standards on 2019+ vehicles, but it also gave us a chance to achieve the new Porsche C40 approval on our X-clean 5W40 gen2 product."
