Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or ZIC

I ran the dealers Castrol for 20-30k miles. Switch to Motul and my temps went up easily 10°F, it would settle down at around 230°F. Catrol never went above 220 unless I was stuck in traffic. So Motul would creep up over 230 at times.

Then I switched to LiquiMoly Leuchteifeifafehffhefh. The oil temps better match Castrol and sit around 220F unless stuck in traffic. BUT the LiquiMoly gets up to temp much quicker than the Castrol ever did.

It is the same with both Redline 5W-40 and Liqui-Moly 5W-40. I usually run between 190 and 202 degrees for oil temperature.

Everyone pushes whatever brand they use but when you're talking group 4 oils you're splitting hairs to some extent because they are premo quality. I've run them all and if I had to pick I'd probably throw my hat in for Liquimoly Leichtlauf High-Tech 5W40. That's the full synthetic version. Watch out there is a synthetic blend version they sell now, not as good.

Decided to go back to (and probably stay with) Liquimoly Leichtlauf 5W-40 (the blue bottle that says fully synthetic).

Liquimoly in all my VW's. 5w40. Liquimoly in all my friends VW's as well. Everything from a Mk4 2.0, to a MK7 R, to turbo R32s. ****s the best.

I run LiquiMoly, zero issues.

I use the Leichtlauf High Tech Engine Oil (5w-40). It's TBN is quite a bit higher and I think the evaporation loss is lower.

I run the 5w-40 synthetic liqui moly in the dark blue bottle. can be sourced locally in US at NAPA for about $45. Many run the Mobil one 0w-30, I use that along with a LM engine flush, which I do every oil change( 6 month intervals) I have tried the 5w.-30 from Liqui Moly also. Best performance hands down 5w-40 year round. It has all the specs for our cars.

since I have been using the Liqui Moly I really have not had that much of an issue with oil loss.

I actually just bought that Liquid Moly 5w-40 on Amazon, more expense but reviews for our cars are great. Will report back after my next oil change.
