N/S55 can use oils that don't have LL01 approval.
Castrol 0W40 would be my go to if 0W40 is imperative. |
Thanks for the quick reply, I don't use my car in the colder months because of summer tires. Is it safe to use the 5w-40 Castile edge? |
Of course. But Castrol Edge 5W40 is step down. If you want LL01 go Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W40. Valvoline European Vehicle 5W40 is also better than Edge 5W40.
Really good LL01 oil is Motul 5W40 X-Cess GEN2. That would be my first option if LL01 is imperative.
