Can you post the ISTA pages showing the approved oils for LL01 5W30 and 5W40?

Can you confirm ISTA is up to date and not an old copy as the approvals change over time.

Thanks

Here's the list from ISTA, I don't know how up to date it is....

Looks like Castrol is back in.

Also interesting with the poor result of the penrite 0W40 as the below link has awesome results compared to the other brands

Give you a tip - NO ONE is running their M car out to "recommended" intervals, so the LL approval means zip - and my car is two years past warranty.
