It’s been well documented for some time now that synthetic motor oils outperform traditional mineral-based oils, in just about every respect. Synthetics last longer, operate at high temperatures without breaking down, and offer better protection than traditional oils; that’s why manufacturers unanimously call for synthetic oils for new cars. Not only that, switching over to synthetics on a high-mileage engine can make a big difference in longevity of internal parts like rings, valves and bearings. Deposits and sludge can be even more of a critical problem in smaller engines, with their closer tolerances and higher RPM’s, making synthetic oil an ideal choice.
Synthetic high performance engine oil is where
Liqui Moly excels.
Founded in 1957, Liqui Moly GmbH is a German company that has since branched out to the rest of Europe, Great Britain, India, Australia, South Africa, and the United States. The company’s name is derived from the patent for the production of molybdenum disulfide. Additives based on liquefied molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) are the basis for
Liqui Moly engine fluids, which now include not only
high performance oil, transmission fluid and
gear lubes, but
fuel injector cleaner, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and more. In recent years, the company has been successful enough to expand their infrastructure, with a new tank farm, filling plant, laboratory facilities, and distribution center, all in Germany.
Liqui Moly engine oils are available in full-synthetic, synthetic-technology, synthetic blend, and mineral (with MoS2 additive) formulations. Liqui Moly engine oils have become the gold standard for European manufacturers, providing immediate lubrication and flow from startup(including the valvetrain and engine’s upper end), and supplying optimum lubrication and flow under extreme conditions. Their high performance oil formulations are ideal for high RPM’s and turbocharged/charge-air-cooled engines, and hold up well during long intervals between oil changes. Liqui Moly’s Top Tec 4100
5 W-40 engine oil is also well-suited for diesels, and meets BMW’s and Mercedes-Benz’s specs for their Euro IV diesel engines. Liqui Moly has also developed a line of thicker greases for bearings and differentials, as well as anti-seize compounds. The company’s
Jectron Fuel Injector Cleaner and
Valve Clean are both great products for keeping combustion chambers clear of carbon buildup.
There are all kinds of reasons to use synthetic motor oil, not the least of which is the fluctuating price of crude oil (and its finite supply). In a crowded field of manufacturers, Liqui Moly engine oil and other Liqui Moly engine fluids set the bar for quality and performance in synthetics.
