The dealership/OEM oil is provided by Pennzoil/Shell. It comes in 2 known grades in the US 0-30 and 5-30. When you buy it, make sure you receive the LL-01 or LL-01 FE spec. The front label should have the word "Gasoline" under "Twin Power Turbo". For suburban and highway driving, I recommend 0-30. If you're constantly revving the motor, then go with 5-30. In all cases, do not rev over 3000 rpms until oil temp is around 200 degrees. You'll need 10 bottles. 9.5 is the capacity for pan and filter housing.

Confusingly, the OEM diesel oils, has similar bottles and grades but diesel is labeled with LL-04. Front lable says "Diesel" on it.

There exists at least one other LL-01 dealership oil, a 10-60 grade. That is not the correct oil, it is used for the last few generation NA I6, V8 and V10 M motors for M3/5/6 and Z8. That oil was barely sufficient for the S65/85 motors...but I digress.
