Approvals:
BMW LL-04
Engines compliant with Euro 4, 5 and 6 emission regulations are fitted with sensitive exhaust gas after-treatment systems. Indeed, Sulfur and Phosphorus inhibit catalytic converters operation leading to inefficient exhaust gas treatment; and Sulfated Ash clogs DPFs leading to shorten regenerating cycle, quick oil aging, higher fuel consumption and engine power loss.
BMW Long Life-04 specification imposes severe constraints on the lubricant particularly due to Valvetronic and after-treatment systems compatibility. It covers all BMW engines from 2004 and also all BMW engines before 2004. BMW LL-04
covers all the previous BMW specifications such as BMW LL-98 and BMW LL-01.
ATTENTION: BMW LL-04 product can be used for gasoline engines only in European Union countries, Switzerland, Norway and Liechtenstein. Outside those countries, a BMW LL-01 lubricant like MOTUL 8100 X-cess gen2 5W-40 is required. Refer to BMW recommendations.
MOTUL Specific LL-04 5W-40 fulfils all the specifications of BMW Long Life-04 standard of the BMW Group for BMW, MINI and ROLLS-ROYCE vehicles with no exceptions i.e. for models before 2019 and after 2019. For models up to 2019, i.e.
until end of 2018 only, MOTUL 8100 X-clean 5W-40 can also be used.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Drain interval: refer to manufacturers’ recommendations and tune to your own use.
Before use always refer to the owner manual or handbook of the vehicle.
