Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or OEM BMW

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.

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.

Zero need to get under the car, I loathe having to do it with my BMW stuff. With the Mrs' Audis I could literally change the oil in a tuxedo & not get a drop of oil on myself.

On my M135i F21 LCI, I always let the initial cold-start finish until the idle drops and then start driving while not going above 4.000 for the first ca. 5km and not giving full gas until the engine oil temperature is 72c or more.

Been doing that and till now no issues or leaks, the engine is running sweet.

I do a 5K oil change interval. I let it warm up for 5+ minutes every morning. Not necessarily because I'm intending to warm it up to operating temp but because that's just how my morning routine goes. I drive moderately and keep the RPM's below 3K and try to keep below 50% load on the engine, aka drive moderately.

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.

Liqui Moly is just mediocre MADE IN GERMANY oil. Castrol Edge Titanium 0w40 is a good oil, as is Mobil 1 Euro FS 0w40 IMO Redline 0w40 or Amsoil Signature Series 0w40 are better oils.
