Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or MOTUL

Mit Liqui Moly machst du nichts verkehrt. Die Leute machen sich viel zu viel Gedanken um den Hersteller. Erfüllt das Öl die Spezifikationen für dein Fahrzeug und ist vom Hersteller zugelassen? Hast du die Marke schon mal irgendwo gehört? Dann einfach rein damit.

I've been using this oil on my '17 BMW S1000R (5W40 weight) right after I got the first oil change from the dealership at 1K KM. Bike now has 25K KM and still running like new. Nothing wrong about seals, runs great and shifts have always been buttery smooth. I don't baby the bike, and change the oil once a year since I only do about 3K KM per year. When flushing, it's still red, a tiny bit darker than when I put it in. To me, this an excellent oil and it is much, much cheaper than the OEM BMW one, and it is JASO MA2 specs.

i have a bajaj 200NS and was given same reason in 2015. i didnt pursued furthur and got Motul as it is much better engine oil than crap they use. 33k km later, no issue and i get it serviced outside.

Liqui Moly 10w40 MoS2

These are old engines, they were run on garbage oil and only idiots go bragging about this, regarless the old standards included zinc and other additives no longer available today due to environmental protection regulations. Ive had 7 of those classics pre 1990s and all of them got the MoS2 treatment - the engines turn around after 2-3 oil changes. Sparkling clean. Smooth.

Anyhow, BMWs are arctic tested and the mega aluminum blocks can contract to -50C and can still safely start with 0W40. So the key is 7000-10000 kms but mandatory 0w4- or a 5w30 Liqui Molly or Fuchs or motul BEFORE WINTER.

Any oil that carries the BMW LL-01 approval should do the trick.

I’ve used German Castrol(aka Castrol Syntec 0W-40 made in Germany) or Liqui-Moly Leichtlauf 5W-40 in my old 650i with no issues.

my switched his n55 to liqui from bmw dealer oil and he said it runs wayyy better and quieter.

Since started using Liqui Molly (2 years and about 8k ago) fuel consumption improved by at least 2/3rds and the oil consumption slowed down not to mention top end is much quieter.

Liquimoly Leichtlauf (Hight Tech) exceeds factory standards, and is designed for VW engines. I’ve been running it for years in our Tiguan with a Mann oil filter. It’s a great oil, our 13’ tiggy runs great and is the only oil I would ever run in an old TSI motor.

I have religiously changed the oil every 5000 miles for the past 30,000 miles or so with Liqui Moly 5-W30. I think it consumes about 1 quart of oil every 1500 miles or so so I figured maybe this would help that.
