According to BMW, LL-04 is formulated for diesel engines for particulate filters and can be used in Europe in place of LL-01. However, Europe has higher fuel standards than the US (and possibly Canada too) and they do not recommend using LL-04 outside of Europe since our fuel is suspected to have higher levels of sulfur than their fuel.
