Oil Grade

Recommended Posts

I was checking and didn't find anything to tell me which grade oil I need for my car. The owners manual did not help much either. I have a 2002 530i; can anyone tell the grade I should buy?

SLX 5w30 as above

BMW recommends Castrol ;)

You might want to look for something that meets BMW LL01 for your car.

It's hard to find anything in retail that meets it even if the grade is correct. The only thing I can find is Shell Helix Ultra (silver bottle with Ferrari logo on it), in Repco and SuperCheap.

Thanks but I'm in Jamaica so I'm not sure if I can get SLX LL01, I have never heard of it. I should be able to get the Shell. What about Mobil 1 any good or best to stick to SLX or Shell?

Any oil brand with rating of 5w30 should be fine, like one of the other guys said, BMW recommend Castrol.
