What are the oil requirements for engines with GPF?
1 Answers
For GPF engines, it is essential to use BMW's latest certified BMW LL-17 oil, which is low in sulfur, phosphorus, and ash content. Reasons for using low-ash oil: During engine operation, additives and other impurities in the oil can burn at high temperatures, producing ash. Previously, when environmental requirements were less stringent, these were simply emitted. Meaning of GPF: A GPF engine is one equipped with a particulate filter in the exhaust system. This component is installed behind the three-way catalytic converter. To verify its presence, when the vehicle is lifted, if you notice a large bulge-like structure after the catalytic converter, that is the GPF.
