What is BMW Longlife-04?
BMW Longlife-04 is a motor oil specification developed for BMW petrol and diesel engines, particularly those equipped with advanced emission control solutions like diesel particulate filters (DPF). This low-SAPS oil ensures reduced ash buildup, protects engine components, and helps meet stringent Euro 5 and Euro 6 emission standards. It is suitable for long oil change intervals according to BMW’s service schedule.
Relevance: BMW Longlife-04 is a current and widely used specification for modern BMW vehicles. It has largely replaced older specifications, such as BMW Longlife-01 for models requiring low-SAPS oils and compatibility with advanced emission systems.
Main characteristics:
- Viscosity: 5W-30, 0W-30, 5W-40, 0W-20, 0W-40
- Specifications: ACEA A3/B3, ACEA A3/B4, ACEA C2, ACEA C3, API CF
- Application: BMW petrol and diesel engines, including those a with DPF and advanced emission control systems

BMW Longlife-04 vs BMW Longlife-01: Key Differences
Features | BMW Longlife-04 | BMW Longlife-01 |
---|---|---|
Engine type | Petrol and diesel (with or without Diesel Particulate Filters) | Petrol and diesel (without DPF, older engines) |
Emission standards | Meets Euro IV, Euro V, and Euro VI emission standards, compatible with vehicles equipped with a DPF | Meets Euro IV and Euro V emissions standards, designed for vehicles without a DPF |
Protection level | Improved wear protection, especially for modern engines and DPF systems | Excellent protection for older engines |
Oil viscosity grades | Typically 5W-30, 0W-30 | Typically 5W-30, 5W-40 |
Compatibility | Designed for newer BMW engines, including those with advanced emission systems (DPF, SCR) | Designed for older BMW engines, both petrol and diesel (no DPF) |
Fuel economy | Optimised for fuel efficiency, especially in modern engines and aftertreatment systems | Improves fuel economy for older engines but lacks specific features for modern emission systems |
Extended oil change intervals | Supports longer oil change intervals for newer enginesi | Supports standard oil change intervals for older engines |
Environmental considerations | Lower SAPS (Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus, and Sulphur) to protect the DPF and reduce emissions | Higher SAPS content, designed for engines that don’t have a DPF or modern emission reduction system |
