Quality & performance of the new Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 is comparable to the outgoing Mobil 1 0W-40, carrying many of the same claims.
However, Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 no longer carries BMW LL-01, due to changes in BMW’s testing requirement.
Thanks, I wondered this as well. Just picked up some today and noticed it didn't say that on it anywhere. I'm sure it'll be fine but... dang.
