Engine oil OEM BMW or OEM Audi

I run the 5w-40 in my 2004 Audi A8 and both of my power strokes just because it's handy and the diesel grade oil is overall better than the other synthetic I was running in a 0w-40 weight.

Looks to be exact same procedure as on my e46. Perhaps the easiest oil change I've ever done. In fact, I've used the same brand and spec oil too, which is an BMW LL-01.

Based on extensive testing, BMW has approved only certain engine oils. Use only approved "BMW High Performance Synthetic Oil." If you are unable to obtain "BMW High Performance Synthetic Oil," you can add small amounts of synthetic oil in between oil changes.
