What Oil Should I Use For My European Car?

[@ryantran429]

For those still curious about using the Leichtlauf High Tech vs Molygen (both 5w-40), I emailed Liqui Moly about it and this was the rep's response: "Unless you have extensive modifications and track/race your MB CLA 250 you're best of by staying with the Mercedes approved Leichtlauf High Tech 5W40. Molygen New Generation oils are designed more for tuned and high performance cars that are used for weekend racing and although these oils may help generate increased power when driven hard they are not going to provide as much overall protection when used in daily driving in a stock vehicle". - Stefan Braun from Liqui Moly. This is the direct quote from them (few typos but I'm guessing that's just due to a language barrier). He did go on to recommend a few additives but it sounds like just using the LHT instead of Molygen is more than sufficient for daily use.

[@benriefourie115]

Wel, thats nog good news. Can you perhaps share the email adress please? I dont want to talk to the local reps here. I want to talk to the guys making the stuff. Appreciate it.

[@CK-dm9eu]

I received about the same response from Stefan: Use Leichtlauf High Tech 5W40 engine oil. This oil will support ring seal and reduce blow with the help of its very string lubricating film. Add Ceratec to the new oil this time then every 30,000 miles/50,000km to reduce friction and increase protection. Ceratec will help the piston rings move freely and will reduce timing chain wear by penetrating each chain link to reduce friction and wear. It will also add extra heat protection throughout. A very effective way to reduce wear and improve overall performance Also this oil change then every 20,000 miles/30,000km/2 years add Motor Oil Saver to the engine oil to help refresh rubber-based engine seals. Rubber based seals harden and shrink with age and Motor Oil Saver will prevent or reverse that process. If your engine is consuming oil, it may be because your valve seals are aged and hard. In that case adding Motor Oil Saver will soften these seals and reduce oil consumption. It will take approximately 400-500 miles of driving before the treatment have completed.

[@fhash1767]

Thank you. You saved our plenty of time.

[@Juscaps]

@@CK-dm9eu I used molly gen my last oil change would it be fine to switch to the high tech since I’m not tuned or anything yet

[@CK-dm9eu]

@@Juscaps Absolutely, Molygen really isn't meant to your average daily, unless you're pushing boost or have a heavy tune, or if you're breaking the engine in for the first 1000 miles. High Tech is the way to go with Ceratec or MoS2, especially for German engines.

[@gadzaniphaladze8840]

I was actually hoping you'd explain the difference between the leichtlauf high tech and the longtime high tech motor oils.

[@VigorousZinc]

Kinda random, but I felt like the liquimoly American rep was trying to one up the German guy. It seems like he was trying to cut him off more. Lol. The German guy is like relaxed, while the American guy is trying to prove he knows more.

They just need to get the VW 502 approval for the Molygen - I don't think it can based on the additive package unfortunately so it's a no-go for folks really concerned with warranty.

[@twalsh51]

The LM guy forgot to mention that molygen is not just green for fun. It's fluorescent green that shows up with UV light to show where there are leaks. So much for the expert.

[@Falcon5ive]

What is "Molygen Motor Protect" additive for, can we add it to Molygen 5W-30 or does it already have it?

[@Fordworldrallyfan]

They do not bring it into the country, nor officially sell it here in the states, we can only purchase this from online amazon vendors in Europe/UK. I am curious as to WHY that is the case. ??? I have the Ford spec meeting, 5W-20 Molygen oil in my 1.6 liter, GTDI Ecoboost engine in my Fiesta ST currently, and it is a bit disconcerting to just now be finding out that this product is viewed almost as a racing oil by LM. The starting TBN is not ridiculously low, like one would expect in a pure racing oil, albeit not all that high like some other oils (Ravenol DXG, etc.), The volatility % IS higher than many other premium synthetics though, which i would think one would really NOT want in a 'street high performance' oil, let alone a 'racing' oil. ???? LM's description 'copy' also states that it is a good oil to help prevent LSPI in GTDI engines, DESPITE the relatively high volatility number, one of the reasons WHY I chose it in the first place. I only do 4K-5K oil change intervals, MAX, but that could be a whole year for me to reach that mileage. Is this oil OK for me to use as a daily driven street oil, despite the low starting TBN? Should I go back to my old standby, Ravenol DXG (which I viewed as superior to LM's Ford spec meeting Special Tec, and why I tried the Molygen) even though yes, it is one viscosity higher than what Ford specs in the U.S. for this engine?

[@CRodx]

I also emailed Liqui Moly directly and this was their response, “Thank you very much for contacting us and your interest in our LIQUI MOLY products. Our Molygen motor oils are in perfect balance and usually there is no need to add any other anti-friction additive into them - these oils already contain additional chemical agents for extra wear protection. So adding MoS2 into the Molygen oils is possible but not neccassary.” I’m still adding CeraTec every 30k.

[@arapaimagold8088]

I don't feel any difference using Molygen with Ceratec or stand alone. However, Molygen deliver more torque than Royal Purple or Millers Nano Drive in my experience. And I also add ceratec on both oils in the past. Now I'm happy with just Molygen and no need to add another addictive.

It say´s in your owners manual the typ of oil to use, GM= DEXOS, MB ....... RN ...... VW ...... ect. It does not matter what brand as long as it states the manufactuars typ on the bottle. America is going over more and more to manufacturar specs as in Europe. The old API system mearly meets Oil Qaulity Control on the SAE scale, todays auto makers require specific typs of oil for their cars thus the GM -RN - MB - VW ratings as stated in their owners manual. Failing to do so may damage the catalitic converter, partical filter and other sensitive parts that are put on in order to meet emisions controls.

Why does it say Fully Synthetic instead of 100% Synthetic? Motul and Amsoil are the only oils I know of that says 100%. I heard if it says Fully Synthetic then it’s not 100% synthetic. There’s a reason why Mobil 1, Redline, LiquiMoly, Valvoline, Penzoil, Royal Purple, etc, do not put 100% on their bottles. They are not allowed to by law because it’s not 100%.
