Description

Motul SPECIFIC LL-12 FE 0W-30 is a fully synthetic engine oil from the Specific line, built around a single car maker's standard. It is intended for BMW and MINI petrol and diesel engines that call for a fuel-saving oil to BMW Longlife-12 FE.

The oil is rated ACEA C2 and holds official BMW Longlife-12 FE approval. It is compatible with particulate filters. Motul notes that Longlife-12 FE covers only certain BMW engines and markets, so check the service book before filling.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 9.9 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 175, HTHS 3 mPa·s, pour point -42 °C, base number 8.3 mg KOH/g, sulphated ash 0.76 %. Available in 60 litres.

Application

BMW and MINI cars with petrol and diesel engines for which the manufacturer requires BMW Longlife-12 FE; also engines designed for ACEA C2.

Worth knowing

A BMW approval does not mean “a 0W-30 for every BMW”. In this oil’s data sheet, the validity of Longlife-12 FE is limited to the EU, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein, and engines with two or three turbochargers are excluded. For a diesel, the document requires certification to this standard, no more than one turbocharger and model year 2014 or later (2013 or later for a six-cylinder); for a petrol engine, model year 2002 or later; the Nx7K1, Nx7U1 and Nx701 engines are named separately. Outside these countries, check the requirement with an official BMW representative.

The only other Motul oil in the catalogue with this approval is 8100 ECO-CLEAN 0W-30, also with C2, an HTHS of 3 mPa·s and almost the same ash (0.77 % against 0.76 %); its base number is 10 against 8.3, and its additional codes include Ford WSS-M2C950-A, API SP RC and ILSAC GF-6A. 8100 X-CLEAN+ EFE 0W-30 with BMW Longlife-19 FE and 8100 ECO-NERGY 0W-30 with BMW Longlife-01 FE have no such entry, although the viscosity matches: each Longlife number has its own range of engines, as the overview of BMW approvals explains.
