Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or OEM Volkswagen

my 2017 Passat got totaled in a accident this week, was at 205062 miles running strong off Liqui Molygen 5w-40.

Take liquimoly for instance, they only have certain oils that meet the VW 508 00 spec but many of their oils are the same weight. None of which will cause your engine to explode if you use them.

I would take a good look at the brake fluid and stale gasoline but the rest should be fine.

I use 10W/60 LiquiMoly 365 days.

Luqi Molly 10w-30 with K&N filter in the winter. Mobile1 T4 10w-40 with K&N in the summer.

Liqui Moly full synthetic. 2qts 10w40 and 1qt 10w50 with the factory Honda filter.

If you are using VW original oil then stick to it and the service interval. 15 years 229,000km later mine is going strong. I did mess up by doing service at 15k km all these years. Sticking to 12k is best. Instead try iftex system D. Makes a very noticeable difference. More important I feel is changing the air filter more often. And compulsorily changing diesel filter every year.

Never heard of this claim, not even from liquimoly. I used to use their same oil in the picture, Toptec 5W-40 on my Skoda Superb for years in 2015

Got my oil changed about a week again (LiquiMoly 5w40) and now I’m getting this warning saying my oil level is too high.

Liqui moly apparently it’s not good oil, they’re just good at marketing
