I had been using Penzoil Euro L as well and have switched to Liqui Moly. I don't get my oil from FCP but will say Liqui Moly seems to be a very good oil.

Pros: very good oil

Original BMW 5w30 LL04. I'm sure other brands with the same specifications will be perfectly fine as well though.

Pros: LL04 approved

Ughh. How did I miss that! I thought I was just saving $5 a liter for the same thing. I am so annoyed with myself. :banghead: I just pulled up the specs for both and indeed the Synthoil has a viscosity index of 171 vs 180 for the Leichtlauf. Also the NOACK for Synthoil is 12.9% vs 10.0% for Leichtlauf. From what I can tell the 12.9% NOACK of Synthoil is what doesn't allow it to have the VW 502 00 approval.

Pros: lower NOACK

Cons: lower viscosity index
