Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or FUCHS

LIQUI MOLY Engine oil

Liqui Moly leichtlauf hightech 5w40. Because it matches the BMW LL-01 specification and was formulated to help with the sticky piston rings issue common to many german engines. Noticed lower oil temp under load and a gradual reduction of oil consumption

Pros: lower oil temp, reduced consumption

FUCHS Engine oil

Fuchs is excellent oil, run it in my nismo 370z cause it has specific esters that the cylinder liners need. Don't think it's necessary BMW engines but it is very good quality oil.

Pros: very good quality oil
Vehicle: Nissan

LIQUI MOLY Engine oil

Ughh. How did I miss that! I thought I was just saving $5 a liter for the same thing. I am so annoyed with myself. :banghead: I just pulled up the specs for both and indeed the Synthoil has a viscosity index of 171 vs 180 for the Leichtlauf. Also the NOACK for Synthoil is 12.9% vs 10.0% for Leichtlauf. From what I can tell the 12.9% NOACK of Synthoil is what doesn't allow it to have the VW 502 00 approval.

Pros: lower NOACK
Cons: lower viscosity index
