Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or OEM Honda

I use Liqui Moly 5W-40 which is on the VAG 502 and 505 list.

Liquidmoly 5w40 is what I use in my 2019 Gti 2.0

LiquiMoly is great oil. They offer oils that meet brand specific certifications like BMW’s LL-01 or GM’s LL-A and LL-B. So they’re a great option for cars with specific requirements.

Liqui Moly is the only oil I use. 198,000 miles and still purrs like a kitten.

been using LiquiMoly 5w-40 since brand new. change every 5k miles and let'r rip

ive always used liqui moly leichtlauf 5w40

when i went from liquimoly to motul i saw a 10° jump in oil temps. went back to liquimoly and temps dropped back down

At around 4000km I did a break in oil change and switched over to liquimoly and noticed my oil regularly stays at 90-95C and only goes to 104 if driven hard.

I want to say it was 7 quarts of synthetic (N54), and if I was buying I used either BMW branded oil or Liqui Moly (at the recommendation of my friendly local BMW centric indy mechanic)

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.
