Oh yeah. if the car is out of warranty, people should go LL01 and preferably W40 weight.
In Canada things are a bit different. Here we have Magnusson-Moss Act and dealers and vehicle manufacturers are not allowed to corner customers on stuff like this. Basically, from the moment you take ownership of a car, you could do oil change in the parking lot with LL01, and they cannot do anything about that.
As long as you keep records and receipts of doing the oil change yourself and LL01 is still an approved oil rating for the motor.
