Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or Total

After using Castrol for \~16 years I switched reluctantly to Liquid Moly, I say reluctant because the Castrol was so highly suggested to use.

Result is that while using Castrol all of those years I would have to add 1/2 to 1 quart of oil in between 5-6K oil changes. I drive the car hard and was told mild oil burning is normal for the S54 engine.

I have been using the Liquid Moly for the last few years and I do not burn any oil in between changes, and my engine oil runs at a lower temperature then it ever has in the past.

I use 5w30. First time used Castrol, now I use Liqui Moly. Both worked great, the second one is cheaper in my country which is awesome because I’m changing the oil every 5k.

I change my oil between the service changes and use a indy shop. They charge $125 for liquid moli.

Liquimoly every 5k miles. I think keeping up with the maintenance and using good oil is the only reason this motor is still going.

Liqui Moly is a good oil. I use that in my BMW/VW.

The Rotella T4 isn‘t officially sold here in Europe. I use Liqui Moly touring high tech. It still got high ZDDP (>1200ppm). And it‘s also quite cheap.

Liqui Moly Special Tec w/ MoS2. 1K miles in, it’s quiet.

I use only LM 6200 0-20w and change oil every 5k or 6 months without fail on my 21 GLI. VG oil, keeping good clean oil in these engines best thing you can do to avoid issues. 55k and still runs like new no mods

I will also vouch for liqui moly. Always liked it, ran a blackstone sample test at like 8000 miles on one of my old cars and the results I got were basically "Extremely low wear, run it like another 5k theres plenty of life left in this oil" so I've never run anything else since.

Used to work closely with Peugeot and talked to their technicians and customers. Their old Prince engine insists must use Total oil. Nasim (previous owner of Peugeot Malaysia) once used Petronas Syntium and they experienced knocking and oil leak. After using Total, it eliminates the problem entirely.
