Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or MOTUL
I've used liquid molly for years now, and it's the oil in my 23 GTI right now.
I use Motul 8100 EcoLite in mine. Paired with the appropriate Motul fluids in the trans and diff, and RBF660 in the brake lines.
Just got in two 5 liter jugs and very excited to fill my Escalade. I currently have in Liqui Moly Special Tec which has run exceptionally well.
Liqui Moly 5w40, MB 229.5. Only that one, even though it is PITA to find in Finland.
Local Merceses dealer put Shell and I don’t really have good experience with Shell before so only Liqui Moly for my car.
Motul 5W-30.
I'm running 10w60 MOTUL 7100, I sit on the revs though, always Tach out!
We use the 5w 40 leichtlauf in the b8 S4 and a3 8v. Helped with the s4 oil consumption a great deal over the euro castrol edge used previously.
I recommend Motul and I advise tou to never use RS8, it's a rebarded Xhina brand.
liqui moly 5-40 exclusively
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.
