Like many other car manufacturers, BMW imposes its own requirements on the properties of engine oils in the form of BMW standards. The designations are quite expressive. The standards are based on the year of construction of the car. For example, BMW Longlife 04 applies to many BMW models that were produced in 2004 or later. With our Oilfinder you can check exactly which oil is suitable for your BMW. The engine oil is tested by the manufacturer and found ready for use only through an official BMW release. Engine oils with BMW approval are known for a good protection against sludge formation, wear and corrosion. They reduce fuel consumption and guarantee a long engine life.
