Red Line 5W40 is a fully synthetic, ester-based high-performance motor oil with a high-ZDDP anti-wear package and a thicker hot oil film than a petroleum 20W50, popular in turbocharged applications. Suitable for VW/Audi 500 00/501 01/502 00/505 00/505 01, BMW LL-01, Porsche A40, and Mercedes-Benz 229.1/229.3/229.5; recommended for API SN/SM/SL/CF and ACEA A3/B3/B4. Red Line lists it as suitable for these specifications rather than OEM approved; if your car needs a factory approved BMW LL-01 oil, we carry Red Line Pro-Series Euro 5W40.
