Important to remember that oil spec doesn't exactly qualify a viscosity specifically. It may suggest a viscosity, but it doesn't mean that all (or even most) of the oils of that viscosity meet the required specification. In certain regions there may be a more commonly found oil viscosity that meets the spec than in others (not all brands are available globally), or, it may just be a typo
For what it's worth... BMW's target is most likely far below that but I've never seen it in writing; Ineos has their own engine lifespan target which is more inline with your own expectation, and given those expectations, still decided upon 12k mile intervals and LL-17FE+ oil...
The oil supplied to me from Ineos Cape Town was 5W30 and that was used for my service at Ineos Kavongo in Maun , Botswana. I’ve had a service since in Cape Town before my vehicle was shipped back to the U.K. and I guess they used the same oil. Is it because ROW spec vehicles are euro4 spec whereas in Europe it’s euro6Important to remember that oil spec doesn't exactly qualify a viscosity specifically.

Is there any difference in the engines delivered to different regions?The oil supplied to me from Ineos Cape Town was 5W30 and that was used for my service at Ineos Kavongo in Maun , Botswana.

Same engines but differences in emissions control equipment as I understand. Euro6 vehicles need low SAPS oil. or low emissions oil.
I think we have the same emissions equipment on the North American petrol, so essentially the same motor. Yes, low SAPS for the GPF.
South Tyrol today ;-)Yesterday it started to snow. Didn't expect winter that early.
Hope to get some Gren pics the next days.
This is exciting to see as we'll be in Germany/France/Switzerland next week and the following!!Yesterday it started to snow. Didn't expect winter that early.
Hope to get some Gren pics the next days.
SPECTACULAR photo IGL! I LOVE IT!Yesterday it started to snow. Didn't expect winter that early.

What do you think of the Cimbair product? Tempted. Never liked seeing them on the Shogun or Land Cruiser, but could possibly be persuaded as not an overly expensive option should they not work for me.
I like them. They came in real useful today in the Yorkshire Dales with windows cracked open and plenty of fresh air on a windy day.

Sorry @Jean Mercier I can’t remember now whether I just had the ignition switch on or engine running. I just followed the procedure in the owners hand book.Yesterday I noticed that my passenger airbag was off. This certainly happened after my preventive maintenance service last week and/or after the software update.
@Logsplitter had the same experience some weeks ago. This is weird and dangerous (for the passenger). I am not used to look at the airbag lamps the whole time!
Today I tried to switch it on, by following the procedure I have used in the past (if I remember well), and as explained also in the post of @Tazzieman man below.
I had the same procedure on a "self-made" sticker in the car.Diagnostic device
Hi Everyone, I have a 2022 Grenadier here Diesel airbag light is on, I have tried Autel, Launch and Snapon, none will communicate with anything but the engine control module, which diagnostic tool can I use that will see and scan all modules on the Grenadier?
Step one is "engine on", etc.
It didn't work, the sliding button was blurred.
I tried again with "contact on" (engine off), and it worked.
Has the procedure been changed or do I have a bad memory?
