Question Which oil spec?

Hello
Call me whatever you like, but after reading a lot on the web I still don't know which spec of Castrol Edge I should use for my car - I find it beyond frustrating.
I'm after Castrol Edge 5W30, but is it C3, LL or any other of the many A or B spec as quiet few of them would match the V10.
One guy said the C3 or LL is the BMW spec where the other is the Audi spec.
Castrol website only shows 5W30 after typing in my reg so they are not very helpful.
There is a huge possibility that I am overthinking it due to my an@l way of approaching many things in life.

I've decided to do service my self this year:
- Wynns engine flush
- Oil and filter (Castrol oil and Mann or OEM filter)
- Fuel filter (Mann or OEM)

That's it really.
Other filters were done 3500 miles ago along with coil packs, plugs, flaps delete and many other things.

Thank you in advance
