RhoanW 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2011 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

my_e36 43 Report post Posted September 30, 2011 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RhoanW 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
