Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or VALVOLINE

Liqui Molly!

I just did mine, German sports car, $160 for Liqui Moly and service

Liqui Moly is a fine oil that meets European specifications and comes in attractive packaging

I've used only LiquiMoly for 10+ years. Runs nice and smooth with zero complaints. Used in both an N52 and B58 engine.

Been using Liqui Moly since last 4 changes when a mechanic got emotional explaining how Mobil 1 is good, but if you are going such a long trip, oh man got for Liqui Moly, the best of the best, his reaction was almost orgasmic.

And I have loved the performance, lower noise, possibly good fuel economy, a 30 mpg+ on a 7k km trip last year.

For anyone who doesn't mind spending an extra buck, try Liqui Moly.

I used this because it was on sale:

Liqui Moly - 0w-30 Oil (5 Liter) Top Tec 4210 (504.00/507.00 spec)

I figure if it meets spec, cheaper is better for a midcycle top change.

Might I suggest Valvoline Restore and Protect. It is magic in a bottle and it's anti wear package is off the charts with oil analysis.

Had een Corsa van 2008 met ketting. Deze begon al vrij snel olie te drinken (liter per 3000km).

Toen kreeg ik het advies om deze olie te kopen van een vriend, daar heb ik probleemloos nog 7 jaar mee gereden.

I noticed that the engine was way smoother (way less vibration) when lightly lugging the gears at 1600 - 1800 rpm on the Valvoline vs the stock oil or Castrol Magnatec. The Valvoline did the same on my 2022 BRZ vs the stock oil and the dealership bulk Magnatec. I also tried Shell oil and the Valvoline is by far the smoothest below 2000 rpm. Almost no oil burnt or evaporated in between oil changes on both cars (less than 100ml per 3k miles) with the Valvoline Advanced.

The most notable change between the Gen1 and Gen 2 is viscosity. It is much thinner than old oil. few of my customers have already noticed higher oil consumption compared to old formulation. Liqui Moly has done the same. They have reformulated their popular Leichtlauf 5W40 to much lower viscosity. @ 100C it is almost as thin as 5W30.
