G2 through G5 are not related to GLx numbers on oil specs. They are just BMWs code numbers that they came up with starting with F chassis. They slip up sometimes and leave the oil weight sticker on them so this is how the info below was derived.

If you measure what comes out, you don't need to have vehicle level. Ramps are much safer and easier.
