Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or MOTUL
I have used it cause it has less oil consumption for me and it has kept everything very clean inside like sludge. My mk6 2.5 loves it and runs like a champ.
Never had issues with LiquiMoly.
doesnt matter. i use liquomoly personally. buy through fcp euro to get free refills
I have been using green moly in both of my 7.5 golfs for year it is great.
Like if using Liquid Moly Mos2 leichtlauf has help quieten my engine ticking noise (mileage about 100k km).
Anything from Motul Go for full synthetic and according to the grade and spec recommended by your instruction manual.
Prefer 10w40 full synthetic only.
this oil is used in a dominar 400 and has been used for roughly 1500km before the highway ride in heavy and light city traffic. my opinion of this oil so far is pros:-
it's very consistent so you know what to expect from it
maintains its smoothness even at higher rpms/ speeds
the engine remains cool on the highways but again this can be attributed to the excellent heat management liquid cooling system of Dominar 400
oil drains can be decently long 4-5k km if the motorcycle Is liquid-cooled( it will still have some life left but hey please change the oil at 5k km)
it's a clean oil, and it has detergents that will keep your engine from having sludge deposits
cons:-
as soon as the engine heats the gear shift experience is a mess, its okay to switch between gears but getting into neutral is hard
higher priced compared to other good brands like total hi perf, but lower than Castrol
also, this is a big one I've heard and read on other motorcycle forums, ester-based oils can be bad for gaskets and seals in the long run.
this oil is kinda bad to use in an air-cooled engine, because this oil evaporates and decreases in level, in an air-cooled engine this will be a mess as this oil from what I can understand and feel was designed to go into a liquid-cooled engine and this does a poor job at transferring and absorbing heat. seen many cases of oil level drop when used in an air/oil cooled motor
most importantly there are a lot of fakes of this oil in the market so to source the genuine one just go to a KTM showroom if your bike uses 10w50
verdict:- good oil for the price, looks fancy with the red colour, does its job well, and will last 5k km easily on a liquid-cooled engine
My 2015 1.8 used to drink a piss load of oil when I first got it at about 100k miles. I switched to Liquid Moly or Mobil 5w40 every 7500 miles and it stopped on it’s own.
Yamalube is a good oil, nothing special. Get a more premium oil if you care about smoother, stronger performance.
