You should use at least a 10/40 syn oil and change it every 5000km with a new filter. if you dont do this you will pay the price.
All I know is there was a raging debate on the main board a few months ago and it came down to you can't/shouldn't put just any old oil in the n54 and the LL01 has the properties BMW engineers require????

I kinda figure as long as I change it regulary should be ok??
