Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or Motorex

Liqui Moly 0W-20 LR for my F-Type-R. Doesn't use much oil, so cost is somewhat irrelevant.

Had an E63 that I recently traded with almost 200K miles, a few months ago I scoped my 1 and 5 cylinders and they had what I would consider normal to no wear. So as a DIY'r, here are my observations, This is a bigger issue in the States than it is in Europe. ... Keeping the engine clean is key. Frequent oil changes no more than 5k mi, using quality oil and fleece filters, formerly a Mobil 1 guy, now using LiquiMoly.

I have always used Motorex. I have the same bike and 3 other KTM’s. Always Motorex. I know it is spendy but it’s very high quality

Whatever weight the owner's manual says it takes, I'd use that. You'll definitely want to go with a high quality oil though. I personally use Liqui-moly... I have 192,000 on my 2012 A6, and she's still purring right along, a lot of which in my opinion has to do with the higher end oil.

Liquimoly 5W-40, every 7k kms or 6 months. I buy it myself and get it done by any garage

Liqui Moly 5w-40 every 7k. Do it myself in my driveway ????

I order the right price point of liquimoly because it burns less vs other brands, in my experience

Liqui Moly TopTec 4100 is good and cheap. Castrol oil is, indeed, not worth the money.

I currently use Liqui Moly 5w-40 in my 02 WRX and it loves it.

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.
