I use Liqui-Moly Spec Tec 5w-30 in my ‘99 328i with 330k km on the clock, runs like a top
Liqui Moly 5w 40 - used this in multiple cars with no issues.
I use LiquiMoly currently, I've used Castrol, Mobile 1 and the BMW OEM. They all meet the BMW LL01 spec so not sure how much of a real difference there is.
The LiquiMoly MolyGen I'm currently using has an additive that glows under black light. Very useful in finding oil leaks.
I used to run 5w-30 liquimoly, i switched to 5w-40 and all my lifter and cam noise subsided after my second oild change with 5w-40. Id highly reccomend switching to 5w-40 liquimoly.
I have always run Liqui-Moly Longtime High-Tech 5W-30 (blue bottle) in my 2008 NCV3 144" Sprinter in San Diego.
On my mk2 I used Liquimoly, Ravenol and now Castrol. No issues with any of them. I switched to Castrol because Liquimoly became a bit too expensive this year.
I have a 2019 golf r and I run liquid moly 5w-40 ever since I got it 2yrs ago and never had a problem..
In Paraguay best race brands are Motul and Liqui Moly, I choose 10w40 Liqui with Ceratec for my 2000 wrx.
I’ve tested a few Liqui Moly mixtures and so far my favorite has actually been the Molygen though it’s not recommended it does meet their LL04 standard. Special Tec is a viable option as well and recommended by BMW. I’d say either is a great option for the longevity of the engine. I’ve had my car for 50k KM (20K Miles roughly) and I’ve had no issues whatsoever so far!
For those who aren't certain about which oil to use, I've read that the "fully synthetic" oil in the USA really isn't fully synthetic and the Liquid Moly stuff from ECS tuning might be a notch or two better than the Mobile 1 from WalMart*.
