However seems like both Amazon and Walmart are shipping the old stock out first, which isn't LL-01 certified. Looks like a couple have reached out to BP and confirmed that old and new have different formulations as well, and it's not just a different bottle. So if that matters to you, be aware.

The difference is minuscule. The additive pack, as well as the base stock, is very similar to the old formulation.
If I had B46/48/58, I would not hesitate to use any of 0W30 formulations.
Base stock is still around 50%n PAO, as the pour point indicates.
If one wants good LL01FE oil, Motul SPecific is way to go.
If one wants additive pack similar to LL17FE, but with higher HTHS, best bet is Motul X-Clean 0W30 EFE, and that is LL04 oil.
