Apec GM 5W30 LL Engine Oil 5 Litre (A2325L)

Description

Genuine Apec · Part no. A2325L

Apec GM 5W-30 LL is a full-ash 5W-30 in a 5 litre pack for petrol and diesel cars without a diesel particulate filter. It lists GM LL-A-025 and LL-B-025, BMW Longlife-01, MB 229.5, VW 502 00 / 505 00, ACEA A3/B4 and API SM/CF, and it is made for extended drain intervals.

Good to know

• Can it go in a diesel with a DPF? No, Apec rule it out. Mercedes diesels with a particulate filter ask for MB 229.51 or 229.52 rather than 229.5, and this oil lists 229.5. BMW's LL-01, LL-04 and Longlife-12 FE are different approvals, so use the one BMW lists for the engine; this one is LL-01.
• Which Vauxhalls does it suit? GM LL-A-025 is GM's older petrol specification and LL-B-025 its diesel one. So it suits Vauxhalls without a particulate filter whose handbook names one of those.
• Will it do a VW on LongLife servicing? No. VW engines on the LongLife service schedule ask for VW 504 00 / 507 00, not 502 00 / 505 00.
