SEAL OF APPROVALAs engine technology is involving faster and faster, carmakers are often tempted to write their demand into their certification specs. These demands cover a number of fields, including lubrication. To earn certification, lubricants have to fulfill international standards - mainly those issued by ACEA (the European Automobile Manufacturers Association ) and API (the American Petroleum Institute) - as well as manufacturer-specific standards. BMW's successive certifications specs, for instance, have stretched oil-change intervals substantially over recent years: from 10,000 to 15,000 km for the BMW Special Oil standard; 30,000 for the BMW Long Life 1998 (LL-98) standard; and more than 30,000 km for the BMW Long Life 2001 (LL-01) standard, of which the fuel-economy version (LL-01 FE) is a niche certification as it only applies to one engine.

changed. In other words, you could almost drive around the world before changing
your oil! The product's main advantages include its oxidative stability which

the engine clean while protecting it against wear. Engine cleanliness and
protection from wear also make compatible with BMW's proprietary Valvetronic
system. Many those oils are BMW LL 04 approved also some of the oils are Mercedes Bluetech Diesel approved for low ash certification for ultra modern diesels.
