Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or Mannol
Have been using Mannol for my cars, works perfectly.
I've used Mannol for years with no problems, it it meets spec, it meets spec.
Liqui Moly 10w40 MoS2
These are old engines, they were run on garbage oil and only idiots go bragging about this, regarless the old standards included zinc and other additives no longer available today due to environmental protection regulations. Ive had 7 of those classics pre 1990s and all of them got the MoS2 treatment - the engines turn around after 2-3 oil changes. Sparkling clean. Smooth.
ive used this in 2 cars ive owned never had a issue with it
i had a picanto from 68k with changing oil every 6 month with mannol since i did alot of mileage and i sold it at 140k engine was still running quiet
Any oil that carries the BMW LL-01 approval should do the trick.
I’ve used German Castrol(aka Castrol Syntec 0W-40 made in Germany) or Liqui-Moly Leichtlauf 5W-40 in my old 650i with no issues.
my switched his n55 to liqui from bmw dealer oil and he said it runs wayyy better and quieter.
Since started using Liqui Molly (2 years and about 8k ago) fuel consumption improved by at least 2/3rds and the oil consumption slowed down not to mention top end is much quieter.
Liquimoly Leichtlauf (Hight Tech) exceeds factory standards, and is designed for VW engines. I’ve been running it for years in our Tiguan with a Mann oil filter. It’s a great oil, our 13’ tiggy runs great and is the only oil I would ever run in an old TSI motor.
Mannol ist okay. Denke wenn man es regelmäßig wechselt, auch vor dem offiziellen Intervall, dann ist es nicht schlechter als Markenöl. Hab sogar damit besser Erfahrungen gemcaht als mit Liqui Moly, Castrol oder Shell helix.
The new LM MolyGen or whatever it is called is not as good as the oil that was discussed thoroughly in this thread. I strongly recommend you stick to the LM Leichtlauf (part number 2332). If you engine sounds \"angrier\", and if that's not in your head, then that is a bad thing.
