The only time you should worry about LL01/LL04 ratings/certification is if you're running the OCI to the BMW recommended mileages. In this case, like 10,000? I think is the current recommendation. If you change the oil at a shorter interval, say 5,000 miles, then those certifications don't mean anything.
