Can anyone clarify my understanding

1. The correct oil to use is Castrol BMW approved LL-01 5w-30 oil? Yes or Mobil 1 European 0W40


2. At the 2000km the break in service the oil is changed. Is the oil in the car for the first 2000km Castrol 5W-30 oil? It should be. The rear differential fluid is changed as well. The tranny fluid is changed only if you have a manual tranny

Any info would be appreciated!

Cheers
