Decided it would be a good idea to change oil to Liqui Moly since the car is trying to be kept going for another 10 or more years . Main dealer was their standard 0W-30 , but i am going to 5W-30 top tech 4200 . Cars manual said its fine spec and originally had 5W-30 day one .
R60, I use liqui moly 5w-40. 0w-40 is good too. Flows better at start up. Same viscosity at operating temp.
My mechanic (Gigamot - MINI specialists) here in Germany recommended and swears by 5W40 for my R56s.
I have been using it for 3 years on all 5 MINIs.
No issues, summer or winter.
Redline and royal purple filter for my 17 ram sport 5.7. 60kish on it now.
I just purchased a LR3 with the V8 4.4 and what a beast! I am close to my first oil change and I am thinking of using Liqui Moly Special Tec 5W-30. I used Liqui Moly for my previous car and it was great.
But if you want extra protection, go for the 10W40 from LiquiMolly, which cotains molibdenum dissulfide, a powerful powder type lubricant which adheres to moving parts.
I got a 1.5dci kangoo - and I kept seeing RN720 5w-30. So ordered liqui moly top tech 4400 5w-30 as that was specific to renaults.
Have to flush out the old oil as its been sitting for a year (using liqui moly engine flush) and will see how the new oil runs.
I've used Penzoil Euro, Motul, Liqui Moly new gen all 5w-40 except Mobil 1 ESP at 5w30. I did like liqui moly the best but it's probably my imagination from the fancy green oil\ud83d\ude05
Try 10w40 after a engine oil flush use liqui moly engine flush. If the 10w40 works fine take it down tk 10w30 then 5w30. I am using 5w30 on a reborn.
The most notable change between the Gen1 and Gen 2 is viscosity. It is much thinner than old oil. few of my customers have already noticed higher oil consumption compared to old formulation. Liqui Moly has done the same. They have reformulated their popular Leichtlauf 5W40 to much lower viscosity. @ 100C it is almost as thin as 5W30.
