155k was using LM molygen and recently switched to LM leichtlauf. Three oil changes with the leichtlauf. The difference for me was i was topping off with the molygen vrs the leichtlauf never needed to top off between changes.

Pros: less topping off needed

Cons: topping off with molygen

Mileage: 155000 km

I have religiously changed the oil every 5000 miles for the past 30,000 miles or so with Liqui Moly 5-W30. I think it consumes about 1 quart of oil every 1500 miles or so so I figured maybe this would help that.

Pros: null

Cons: consumes oil

Vehicle: Volvo XC70

Mileage: 5000 km

When I tried it on my MT-07, though, I found a lot of false-neutrals that my bike didn't have before. I drained it out and put Motul back in after about 300 miles.

Cons: false-neutrals

Mileage: 300 km
