Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or Total

5w40 liquidmoly

Imo Mobil 1 is mid grade at best. Liqui-moly is the only thing I’ve used for the last 5 years, I too started with Mobil 1, then switched to liquimoly (same weight) and the engine was immediately quieter, smoother, and ran cooler.

my 2017 Passat got totaled in a accident this week, was at 205062 miles running strong off Liqui Molygen 5w-40.

our jiffy lube locations use total quartz ineo long life 0w20 which meets vw 508/09 specs. definitely use the vw recommended oil it has all the additives it needs especially with keeping those euro engines clean and less burn off at high temp.

Take liquimoly for instance, they only have certain oils that meet the VW 508 00 spec but many of their oils are the same weight. None of which will cause your engine to explode if you use them.

I would take a good look at the brake fluid and stale gasoline but the rest should be fine.

I use 10W/60 LiquiMoly 365 days.

Luqi Molly 10w-30 with K&N filter in the winter. Mobile1 T4 10w-40 with K&N in the summer.

My GL550 has about 106k miles on it, just did an oil change with LiquiMoly 0w-40 and 2 bottles of LiquiMoly ceratec. Drove it kind of hard for a minute or so. Then noticed when I got back it had this noise.

Liqui moly apparently it’s not good oil, they’re just good at marketing
