I just did a little research about the Lubro Moly...this thread peaked my interest. It turns out that I was right, Lubro Moly is approved for BMW in Europe as it is an LL-04 approved oil.
That begged the question "What is the difference between LL01 and LL-04 approval?" It turns out that the LL-01 oils are specific for US market due to the high sulfur contents in our fuel and the LL-4 oils are specific for European markets due to the low sulfur contents in their fuel.
Based on this, I think I'm going to go back to the BMW oil from the Lubro Moly. My engine is running cooler and quieter with the Lubro Moly, but I guess I'm worried now about long term reliability.
Please do your own research though.
