Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or PENNZOIL

I just did mine, German sports car, $160 for Liqui Moly and service

Liqui Moly is a fine oil that meets European specifications and comes in attractive packaging

I've used only LiquiMoly for 10+ years. Runs nice and smooth with zero complaints. Used in both an N52 and B58 engine.

Been using Liqui Moly since last 4 changes when a mechanic got emotional explaining how Mobil 1 is good, but if you are going such a long trip, oh man got for Liqui Moly, the best of the best, his reaction was almost orgasmic.

And I have loved the performance, lower noise, possibly good fuel economy, a 30 mpg+ on a 7k km trip last year.

For anyone who doesn't mind spending an extra buck, try Liqui Moly.

2020 Telluride with 80,000 mi still going strong with Pennzoil Platinum Ultra at regular change intervals.

I often find Pennzoil Platinum Euro LX at 37$ for 5L at Canadian tire. They are all great oils.

I used this because it was on sale:

Liqui Moly - 0w-30 Oil (5 Liter) Top Tec 4210 (504.00/507.00 spec)

I figure if it meets spec, cheaper is better for a midcycle top change.

Penziol platinum on my 23. change it every 5k and it’s still golden

Decided in the 5w-30 because the engine seems to run a bit smoother with the 30 weight

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.
