Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or ROWE

LIQUI MOLY Engine oil

Liqui Moly 5w40, MB 229.5. Only that one, even though it is PITA to find in Finland.

Local Merceses dealer put Shell and I don’t really have good experience with Shell before so only Liqui Moly for my car.

Cons: hard to find

LIQUI MOLY Engine oil

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.

Pros: lower NOACK
Cons: lower viscosity index
