Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or Pentosin

In my A4 2.0T I use 4qts of Liqui Moly 5w40 and 1qt of Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Treatment.

Liquimoly is only oil you should be running in your turbo vw

For best performance use liqui moly 5w30. I have also used it recently in my japanese alto with above 100K km.

I have a 14 Passat. I do full synthetic LiquiMoly with the VW spec. I change it out every 6-6500 miles.

Liquimoly leichtlauf 5w40. Been told it’s a bit better than 5w30 in a 20+ year old engine due to being a bit thicker. Also does better at higher temps and I drive like a dick

Liqui Moly leichtlauf hightech 5w40. Because it matches the BMW LL-01 specification and was formulated to help with the sticky piston rings issue common to many german engines. Noticed lower oil temp under load and a gradual reduction of oil consumption

I run LM 5w-40 as recommended by my tuner.

I just do the liqui moly. Also I change my oil well before the BMW recommended 10k.

After talking to a European mechanic. He said u need Germany oil for a German car. American oil is trash bc of the EPA regulations. He recommended Pentosin. The tick tock went away and I've been using it every oil change

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.
