The concept of Apéry limit for second and third order di fferential equations is extended to fourth and fifth order equations, mainly of Calabi-Yau type. For those equations obtained from Hadamard products of second and third order equations we can prove that the limits are determined in terms of the factors by a certain formula. Otherwise the limits are found by using PSLQ in Maple and are only conjectural. All identified limits are rational linear combinations of the following numbers: π2: Catalans constant G, n=1(n3)n2,ζ(3),π33,π4.
