​​@@RoxhamCottageI agree on his mastery of English. Sure he struggled with a few words and a few grammar items, but this is an interview where he appears to have to respond on the fly. It may be cut, I don't know. But English has been well established by linguistic experts worldwide that English is the most difficult language as a 2d language. It's a Germanic language with many German cognates, so that does help. I can speak German, but technical German is a whole different thing... So to see him speak, I'm impressed.

[@marcelocuadrado6955]

I see that you do not recommend the addition of ceratec in the molygen due to its already perfectly balanced package, which makes total sense. Now my question, in a liqui moly synthoil High Tech that is the 100% synthetic range but without an anti-friction additive package, would the addition of cratec from liqui moly be suitable and even recommended there?

I recently acquired a 99 Mercedes Benz S 320 and did alot of work on it. The only problem I had with the car was problems with oil. After trying Mobil 1, and Castrol with no success, I researched Liqui-Moly, and decided to try their 15-w-40 semi synthetic with moly dysulfide.

Been using Shell Helix Ultra 0w 30 in my Golf Mk5. I honestly wouldn’t go back to 5w 30 unless it’s summer time. On start up engine noise goes real quick being a low viscosity in the winter. Plus I live in Wales, so it can get real cold here so the 0w is ideal for me.

[@vitaltrina]

It would have been great to include a category about what to do if you track your car, most of the time people struggles to know if it's ok to race with a 5w30 on tunned cars... As states, 5w30 and oem specifications for oils are for OEM cars, once you get tunned, you can throw that to the bin. People racing in the seat leon cup racer cars use castrol 10w60, but not sure if that's ok for a car that is used in the street.

[@edwardkhachatryan7499]

It depends on the tune, if you just have a simple tune with intake and exhaust then i'd recommend using the same weight. When you start messing with turbos and superchargers and internals then you might want to, but you dont always need to. You should also get oil that is formulated for high performance applications

[@vitaltrina]

@@edwardkhachatryan7499 yes i guess that simple modifications are ok with the same weight oil, i usually tend to increase just a bit the grade like if it uses 5w30 i increase it to 5w40 but i use a racing oil as most of the cars i have are abused at trackdays haha

[@mareksumguy1887]

Clay Crawford if you knew what you were talking about, you’d know that BMW themselves actually reverted back to a 5w40 for the s65... due in part to the bearing wear issue. You can easily run a 5w30 with MoS2 additive. You’ll get more power and better fuel economy.

[@A.Dude.]

@@sahangartal9049 The best you can afford. "Leichtlauf" is a very low viscosity oil and it's 100% synthetic. Now, because your car has some mileage on it (I noticed, those are km... LOL), I would recommend a compression test; you can do it yourself with an inexpensive tool from HFT. It might as well be that the compression will "ask" for a higher viscosity and in this case I would avoid anything under W10 on the cold end. For the "warm end", you can go as high as you want or afford. In any case, using the best oil, will give you a longer engine life. Also don't cheap-out on filters; very important!!! I noticed that the genuine filters at the dealership are priced just the same, if not lower than the parts store charge... (I mean, I only have experience with MB and VW). Good luck!

Now I understand the potential value of this fancy green oil. Every time I take my Volkswagen into the stealership, they find some "small oil leak", and want to tack on an extra $1000 or more for "repairs". Strangely, I never have to add oil to my car in between oil changes, so with such a leaky engine, why is my dipstick still up to the max mark? I know, right? Elves are topping up my oil while I sleep. Today, the stealership quotes me over $5600, mostly due to parts that need replacing because they're causing "small oil leaks" and "labor charges" because they found so many apparent damn oil leaks. My garage floor is clean. My dipstick says max. The trade in value on my GTI is $4200 by the way, it has 50,000 miles on it and Volkswagen is saying it's rubbish. My dad was the original owner and he took meticulous care of it. I am so tempted to use Molygen in it this time and find these "small" leaks myself. It costs about $35.

Honestly that 502 and 504 talk was dope. So what I understand is this. Since the fuel quality is suspect in USA. Then running 93 91 89 octane with 502.00 oil is standard. European i think has 100 98 95 octane to their 504.00 oil. Can someone say I'm correct on this. Great video actually. Sucks that Zarcaro left ecs. Cool dude

[@nathanbeatty6162]

They have a different octane rating system in Europe, it's not apples to apples. It's essentially the same X/Y/Z.

[@piotrsobiech3307]

+ECSTuningMedia You did not mention that the Molygen oil does not have any official approval yet, so using it voids your car's warranty. I would very much want to use it in my car, but this is why I am unable to, do you know if there are plans to have it approved or why it is not approved?

[@MOBROOKS]

Piotr Sobiech Good question.

Soooo. They didn’t say what happens on cold start in winter if your run 20w50 let’s say 0 degrees Fahrenheit. I’ve seen videos, it’s really thick. Is it ok to run?

[@sheldonm3535]

I ran LM oil in my N54. But for my e90 M3 I only run Castrol 10w60 oil

[@bdkamil95]

Michael Broski lol. Castrol is really poor quality oil.

[@DriftEmigrant]

@@bdkamil95 I agree but Castrol 10w60 is very different than any other Castrol

[@giovannimedina7415]

Which oil is better for my 2006 vw gli blue or green?

[@tivintroche8392]

No need to used liqui Moli Oil saver with Liqui Moli Molygen also?

[@Archivedintel]

Do you think 5w-40 would be more adequate than 5w-30 for a Dinan stage 2 n55? It seems to run a bit hotter than my old n54 that I used 5w-30 in.

[@gabrielshaw5960]

5w-40 for sure. 30 will give slight performance increase however increased wear on bearings. You could get away with running 30 with additives however 40 will give peace of mind.

[@noureddinebig165]

i use liqui moly 10w40 blue. can i change to green directly ?

[@registrationaccount1034]

What is the difference between 5w40 Leichtlauf and 5w40 Molygen if Molygen is the perfect mix?

[@zeusman123]

My 2018 b48 in my 530eneeds 0 w 20 but it's basically not available in the LL BMW spec. in Canada. Only BMW has it i assume at the dealership for oil service. It's very expensive at the parts counter. All the parts stores do not have oil that meets BMW spec. Liqui Moli 6600, which meets the spec in a 0w20 is not available and the relevant oil at Rockauto is perennially out of stock. I found Pennzoil Euro L 5W30 with BMW LL 04 spec. Will the weight cause any issues, i assume that since it meets LL spec that i am good for the summer and will hope to find 0w20 for the winter, since i have a 530e and the oil will tend to be on the cold side during most winter driving. Any comments?

This guys a smart cookie

[@ajayrana3484]

Hi Sir plz suggest me best engine oil for maruti suzuki vitara brezza (india ) company’s recommended grade 5w30 , i was confused

[@mohamedtorontovka6898]

Ur information and not the same as ur web site, Here u mention the 5w40 is good for Europian cars, on website it is mentioned the best are 5w30 ?!! at least I did a search for my car it is Audi B8 Quattro. Even when I will order it shows the 5w40 and ur site says 5w30 ?? my question is now as follows = Which oil for my TDI quattro is better ? Which oil reduce the Deisel engine sound and make it litter bit quite ? Is it the 10w60 or do u suggest something else ? I am in Sweden and u know in winter it is -30 in my place

[@Hate2Loveme1991]

I have a question. If the engine at operating temp is always greater than the outside ambient air, what is the point in getting a 40 weight over a 30 weight hot rated oil? Am I correct in thinking that an engine should never get hot enough to use 40 weight oil unless it has cooling issues?

[@Dcc357]

Let's take 5w-40. At 210 degrees F, the oil is a 40 weight. Some engines, like turbo engines, can make oil temps shoot above 220 and maybe even 230 in normal driving. This further lowers the oil viscosity below a 40 weight, so having a thicker oil for those protects better. I'm moving from 0w-20 to 5w-30 since my GTI's oil is always around 220-230 degrees. Don't know why VW thinks something so thin protects an engine above 210 degrees.

[@ellechero1082]

What would you say about #projectFarm testing Liquid Moly and putting it at the bottom of the list ? His tests seemed legit

[@solohockey3395]

Which is the better Engine Oil in-between three ones for my Nissan Terrano Diesel 2014 Model. 1lac80 thousand Driven. 1) Mobil 1™ 5W-30 2) Mobil Super™ 3000 X1 Formula FE 5W-30 3) Mobil 1™ ESP Formula 5W-30

[@anthonyross8924]

I can't seem to find what oil to use in my owner's manual for a 2017 Audi A8L with 68000 miles. Any good suggestions? The manual only said Castrol Edge Professional.

[@TheShotsie1]

Put Liqui Moli in my F10 this morning👌🏼

[@thelifescout8335]

Ness Kulla God help you if you put bmw twin power oil in it.

[@fedism]

Thomas Hurt you mean the bmw oem oil? Im between amazon basics liqui moly and mobil 1 for my bmw f10

[@adriangutierrez8177]

Ri2nonerok Yeah put Amazon Oil because they use it in race cars. Come on dude Liqui Moly all the way. NO Mobile One is approved for BMWs

[@derschadel6888]

Hello what oil to choose for my Audi S5 3.0 V6 333 HP , year 2012 , 116.000 km , 5w30 or 5w40 , Europa model.Thank you

[@eliseocortes0228]

What oil do you recommend for MK7R recently forged engine?

[@dealeroneinternationalptyl2708]

I have done engine overhaul for my bmw e39 528i m52 with over 300,000k, please between 5w-30, 5w-40 and 10w-40 which one of oil is good to use? And we're in summer now in South Africa

[@Trump-The-GREATEST]

Just change my oil on my 2011 BMW 535i M-Sport to Molygen 5w-40 and added a bottle of CeraTec as well. Didn't notice a difference from prior the oil change. By the 3rd day i notice this knocking thumping sound that has gotten louder from the passenger side of the motor. I never had that before and its worrying me. Damnit, why do the Germans make inferior vehicles that easily break? Some say that it noise issue sounds like Bearing Rods! OMG, that's a very EXPENSIVE repair and all do this oil. My car is stock, no mods at all and regularly uses 5w-30 as factory specs but Liqui Moly only recommends 5w-40 of Molygen for BMW's. Damn i home my car is not ruined all because of this oil's grade. I will try and change the oil ASAP to what is specs for my car and see if the noise goes away!

[@michaelcondrey8681]

What was the outcome ??

[@creativecontrol9047]

sooo...whats the difference between the Leichtlauf and the Molygen? Do they have any different additives or is it the same just added green for UV leak detection?

[@ecstuning]

Molygen has extra friction modifiers in the additive package. You could run Molygen by itself or Leichlauf High Tech with either Cera Tec or MoS2 Anti Friction Additive. We'll have a video on additives once it's done being edited.

[@xmreeves]

no additive video :( Good thing we know Ceratec is great already!

[@GeorgiGeorgiev-ne9ps]

Why the 5w40 oil at -10 F is thick and at 200F is very think and liquid when 40 is thicker than 5?

[@whiteskull5362]

what about Liqui Moly Synthoil High Tech 5w40 , will be this the best solution for my Audi S5 year 2012 , V6 333 Hp ,european version. Thanks
