Incorrect.
The Pennzoil platinum euro 5w40 is vastly superior to the 5w30 variant.
The 5w40 version has porsche a40 (the insane multi hour nordschliffe and the oil must not degrade and there must be sufficient engine protection) and MB 229.5 certifications which are both the most stringent certifications possible, in addition to ll01 which is the most stringent for oxidation and timing chain wear is a big factor too.
So certifications do matter. |
No. They really dont.
BMW switches these around as a way to make money. One year an oil is approved, next year its not when the formulation hasn't changed.
Seems like you've fallen victim to clever marketing.
