Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or VALVOLINE

Liqui Moly is fantastic oil. It's a pretty fair price for me, so I always run it and have had great oil analysis when using it.

Just swapped over to Valvoline Restore and Protect in my N52 BMW daily driver with 215k miles. I drive a lot and am taking before and after photos inside the valve train. I have exclusively used Castrol Edge A3/B4 for years so I will have a true comparative.

Liquimoly molygen 5w40 doing great in my 313k motor.

Valvoline is the best oil I can recommend to you. Not even Royal Purple matches it in quality. They have a +75K miles and a +150K miles version of the oil. All of my cars are now on it after trying them all (Mobil, Royal Purple, Pennzoil, Castrol), the only one that effectively prevented oil burn and sealed any leaks in my other cars was Valvoline.

I personally prefer Valvoline, they seem to know what they're doing and have their own engine lab to test and experiment with oils, and that oil they made specifically for hi-milage engines work bloody good at rejuvenating a smoky old engine.

I have to use high zinc oil, Valvoline VR1 is the only oil I can buy that has enough zinc.

I use liquimoly leichtlauf 5w-40. Bit of advice: these are VERY easy to overfill if you're not careful, so refill slowly. Put in less than you think you need, once it registers on the oil level sensor, then start the car for a minute. After that, leave if for a few hours to drain before continuing to fill.

amazon.ca has Liqui moly TOP TEC 6200 SAE0W-20, VW508 00/509 00. Been using this since day 1 on my 2021 Tiguan with no issue.

I buy Liqui Moly 6200 from germanparts.ca for about $70/5L. Our Tiguan consumes a lot of oil sadly, so I buy a lot of it. My mechanic recently recommended using Liquid Moly 2331 (Leichtlauf) 5W40 to see if it helps with oil consumption, and have had that in for the last month or so.

i use valvoline 5w40 ...so those results arent so good?
