It is good oil. But I prefer those two as Motul has some Esters, and Shell is the latest trick as it has BMW LL19 approval.
This Castrol is a bit above average oil, but IMO, not in line with those two. Now, take into consideration this is splitting hairs and your engine won't self-destruct

Thank you for this. I read that the LL19 is basically an improved LL04. Should I then go for that one? How come Castrol doesn't have an LL19 oil for sale currently? I thought BMW's official oil supplier is Castrol at the moment.
