What I mean is yes they sell perfectly good "BMW" branded top up bottles in the showroom (at vastly inflated prices of course), but in the workshop they pump something unknown out of 55 gallon drums.

I'm sure it meets the spec, but it will be the cheapest they can buy not the best per se.

Agree with Chris719 on the FE thing, better to stay LL01 if you have no OPF (and aren't a diesel engine)
