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 9 bottles. 8.5 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.

Is there a menu to see the actual oil temp ? if so please tell me how to get there.
