By the way, the product data sheet indicates that TBN is only 5.8. Do all "low SAP" lubricants (like BMW LL-04 and MB...

    BMW Long Life Rating....

    How about this Motul Sepecific LL-01 5w-30? http://www.turbofrogperformance.com/Products/Engine/BMW_LL01_5w30.htm It is a little bit strange that it carries only BMW LongLif 01 approval, nothing else.
