Why didn't you use the Pennzoil Platinum Euro which is LL-01 ?

Haha no worries just didn't want someome to mess up their engine.

I used the ultra platinum over the platnium euro because it had the best protection under the toughest conditions based on extensive tests I read online. I've also read that they use this oil (0w40) for pro racing with really high reviving engines under extreme load for long periods of time in endurance races, and the oil held up with zero issues. I know it's not LL-01 but iirc it lost that certificate because they didn't test it on one newer BMW, but again that doesn't really bother me as I change my oil ever 2,000km and ultra platinum should be significantly better than the platnium euro.
