LIQUI MOLY Engine oil

5k or less with Liquimoly. Just had oil pan and upper timing cover replaced at 123k miles (plastic parts leak/ fail bc of heat cycles) and my timing chain looked like new, and not one spec of metal or debris on the bottom end. Unitronic stage 1+ since 75k miles.

Pros: timing chain looked new
Cons: plastic parts leak
Vehicle: Audi A3
Mileage: 123000 km

The liquimoly additive, Oil Additiv p# 8352, did help me for a bit but now it's back to the usual oil guzzling. For my choice of engine oil I use 5W-40 Toptec 4100 liquimoly .... I think it reduced consumption somewhat over OEM castrol.

Pros: reduced consumption somewhat
Vehicle: Audi A3

Pros: new to me
Cons: consumes much oil, nightmare
