Liqui Moly 5W30 engine oil is an original product of the German company Liqui Moly GmbH. The lubricant is distinguished by high quality characteristics that provide the internal combustion engine with uninterrupted operation, easy "cold start", stable lubricating properties at low ambient temperatures and extend the "life cycle" of the power unit. One of the advantages of an oily liquid is that it instantly spreads to all parts and assemblies of the engine's internal structure. Liqui Moly 5W30 oil protects the motor from overheating and premature wear. The products of this line are made using a unique proprietary technology.

Liqui Moly

This company has German roots with production facilities in Saarlouis and headquarters in Ulm. Also located in Ulm is a plant for the production of automotive chemicals and oil additives. The company exists in the automotive market for more than 60 years and for thistime has established itself as a reliable and high-quality manufacturer of its own products in the automotive industry. Liqui Moly, in addition to motor oils, produces child seats for car interiors, seat belts, car care products, repair tools, various lubricants and pastes for cars. The German brand also offers bicycles, gardening equipment, motorcycles, sealants, building materials and even weapons in its assortment.

The company developed a branded canister for Liqui Moly 5W30 engine oil, which has become a recognizable package all over the world and is still in use today. Liqui Moly has offices in 110 countries around the world, and at home it is recognized as the best manufacturer in the field of lubricants. The brand has received several awards from popular automotive magazines.

German company Liqui Moly actively sponsors sports teams in auto and motorcycle racing, football, hockey and other sports.

Liqui Moly oil products

The Liqui Moly 5W30 range of oils is characterized by a high-quality lubricating fluid with a balanced viscosity index, produced using the original in-house synthesis technology.

The latest achievement of the company was an additive based on the synthesis of tungsten and molybdenum ions. An oil product using such a processing aid has the Molygen marking prefix in the name. This technology is distinguished by many qualitative characteristics. The advantage is morea strong oil film covering absolutely all metal surfaces of engine parts and assemblies. In addition, the oil change interval in the engine has increased significantly, the friction of parts has decreased, and the wear resistance of the rotating elements of the power unit has increased.

Features of German oil

Liqui Moly 5W30 oil can be used in a wide temperature range, which leads to all-season operation of the liquid. The temperature range is from -35 ℃ to +40 ℃. At these permissible degrees, the oil retains its operating viscosity coefficient, reliably lubricating engine parts and assemblies.

German oil product indirectly affects fuel consumption in a positive direction, that is, reduces it. Savings can reach 5% if the motor operates without extreme loads. The oil is also designed for operation in aggressive conditions, but at the same time, fuel economy will decrease sharply.

Thanks to MFC (Molecular Friction Control) technology, the friction process has been minimized, resulting in increased wear resistance of all components, including those that have a short service life.

Using lubricant

German brand Liqui Moly 5W30 oil is recommended for use in any modern internal combustion engine that meets lubricant regulatory requirements. The product can be poured into both a new engine and an engine with significant mileage. Suitable for power units of domestic andforeign manufacture. The oil received a positive assessment and approvals from the popular automakers Ford, BMW, Honda, KIA, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and other famous brands.

Lubricant fluid can be used in engines with gasoline and diesel fuel, as well as in engines operating on liquefied gas. The regulations indicate approvals for use in simple modifications of internal combustion engines, turbocharged engines, with an intercooler system, in engines with a two-level modification of the catalyst and particulate filters.

Types of Liqui Moly oils

The range of lubricants manufactured by the German company is quite wide. Many oils are conditionally divided into three groups: specialized, universal and original.

A specialized group of oils has personal personal certificates and is intended for use only by certain power units. This category includes such brands of oil products: Special Tec and Tor Tes series.

Multipurpose lubricating fluids comply with all API and ACEA regulatory requirements. The product is used in turbocharged units and catalysts. Representatives of this group are High Tech LL, Synthoil High Tech and Optimal HT Synth.

The original group of oils is characterized by increased engine protection with proprietary manufacturing technology and the addition of original anti-friction additives. This is the highest quality category of Liqui Moly oils, which has an API SN / CF specification. To herapplies to Liqui Moly Molygen 5W30 brand oil.

Thor Tes series line

The Liqui Moly 5W30 Top Tec oil series is HC-synthetics. The parameters of this series in many indicators correspond to synthetic counterparts, and at the same time its cost is one third less.

The entire Tor Tes line contains in its structural composition sulfur, zinc, phosphorus and sulfate ash (SAPS) of medium or low percentage presence. This oil is designed to serve engines of modern modifications with particulate filters. Tor Tes lubricants are manufactured using MFC technology, which compensates for poor wear resistance.

The Tor Tes range includes the following oils.

• Liqui Moly 5W30 Top Tec 4200 oil. The modification is characterized by the average presence of undesirable SAPS components and has a Euro 4 approval. It is used in gasoline, diesel and gas installations. Recommended for engines with built-in or separately equipped additional exhaust gas cleaning system. Received positive feedback and approved for operation by BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, etc. API specifications comply with SN / CF, ACEA C3 quality.
• The Tor Tes 4300 modification has a low SAPS content, is aimed at consumption in premium cars, is approved for Euro 4 and 5 standards. Oil of this group is preferable for use in diesel engines with an additional exhaust gas aftertreatment system and for engines, working on liquefiedgas.
• Thor Tes 4400 and 4500 with low negative substances, well suited for diesel engines with DPF filters. Also applicable in gasoline units.
• Liqui Moly 5W30 Tor Tes 4600 oil has an average content of SAPS components. Recommended for all types of engines with advanced exhaust gas filtration systems.

Special Series

Previously, the line was called Leichtlauf Special LL, but a few years ago it was renamed Liqui Moly 5W30 Special Tec oil. This product was developed by the company directly to the individual needs of specific car manufacturers. For example, one of the main requirements was a longer lubricant change interval.

Modification Special Tes F was made by order of the concern "Ford" for diesel and gasoline engines of its own production. This type of oil was produced on the basis of HC-synthetics.

Special Tec LL corresponds to the order of the automaker Opel for engines from General Motors. The oil is fully synthetic with a maximum content of SAPS components. Has SL/CF specification from API and A3/B4 from ACEA.

The Special Tes AA oil group was developed for American and Japanese internal combustion engines.

High Tech modification

Liqui Moly High Tech 5W30 Synthoil is one of the latest developments of the German company. The product is 100% synthetic lubricant. Polyalphaolefin-based lubricantboasts reliability and stability. Engine parts are evenly covered with a strong oil film structure, ensuring a normal working process for the entire power unit. This modification cleans well, prevents deposits from soot, does not evaporate and has maximum anti-corrosion properties.

Product reviews

Positive reviews about Liqui Moly 5W30 oil are expressed by many giants of the automotive industry, professional auto engineers and ordinary motorists. The quality of German goods is known all over the world. The manufacturer at home is considered the best of the best in this field, which is confirmed by numerous awards.

Users of this product note the stable operation of the engine both after the next replacement and during the entire period of operation. Drivers are satisfied with the versatility of the oil, its cleaning properties and stable performance in the cold season.
