5W40 Motul Xcess gen 2 year round on my 328xi 6MT. Probably should look at 0W40 since I experience -30 to -40 4 months out of the year

Rowe 0W40
Ran also great in my Z4 M54 engine.

But had some idling issues at startup even though all relevant parts were replaced.
Will switch to Rowe 5W40 now.

Prices on ECS are competetive.

Love their oil and itīs been tested all the time on racetracks:

OK, I'm confused. Do I need to specifically use the LL-01 even if my oil change interval is less than 8k miles? I've used Castrol Edge regularly, but now I notice only the 'euro' version is LL-01 approved.

Thanks!
