Is there really any material difference between the oil specs from BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Vauxhall, etc.?
Provided the engine oil is Fully synthetic, and of the right viscosity (ie 5W-30)
So the following specs, are they materially the same oil.
1) ACEA C3 , API SN, MB 229.31/229.51/229.52, BMW LL-04
2) ACEA C3 VW 504.00/507.00, Porsche C30.
And can I use say a LL-04 oil in a car that specifies say 507.00?
