hello motorheads..
need reviews on liqui moly engine oil. Mos2 leichtlauf 10w40.. Hope anyone who ever tried this oil may share some info..

I researched online and got interested in Liqui Moly products. Too bad nobody did any thorough review on it yet, so I took my chances with one. I was thinking of getting the Toptec fully syn, but decided against it as I am interested in the Mos2 additive. Thus, I found the Mos2 leichtlauf 10w40 oil with the Mos2 pre-added.

I've been using fully-syns before, and I must admit - I got used to the appearance of such motor oil. What I'm talking about is the 'clear' looking new motor oils, be it mineral, semi-, or fully-syn.

Mos2 leichtlauf 10w40 however, caught me by surprise - it is dark gray in color, and it's not clear. It's slightly 'cloudy' due to the added Mos2 additive. The service centre peeps were surprised too.

After pouring it in, I noticed the immediate effect on the first start - upon ignition, the engine cranks to start smoother, and somehow a hair quieter. Subsequent test drives proved that the engine felt 'silky', and not so harsh even when I revved hard. Overall, I love the feeling. The car felt lighter to accelerate, and smoother when cruising. Since I travel the highway daily, I can consistently gauge any improvements on Fuel Economy. Overall, I get slightly better fuel economy.

To deal with any possible placebo effect, I handed the car to my friend, who drove a similar car. We're always benchmarking each other's car, and he knew my car pretty well too. After a quick spin, he informed that the engine runs smoother throughout the range of the revs. The effect was almost like running a higher compression than before. After Googling around, I found out that Mos2 was designed to as micro-sealants, to effectively 'seal' microscopic gaps between the cylinder wall and the piston ring, thus eliminating friction and preserving compression as a bonus.

I'm also eager to test Liqui Moly's Ceratec additive, but when my friend poured a can into his Caldina, I was surprised yet again. It looked exactly like teh tarik. I can't comment much other than appearance, since I haven't used it before.

P/S: My engine is the notoriously noisy, thirsty SP4H CPS.

hi bro,

i used the engine oil on my toyota hilux vigo kun 2.5. The diesel "tappet" sounds is softer. Before i was using castrol 15w40 and the sound is a killer.

Hope my experience helps.

Regards.

@Arezfei you should really try the ceretac.. pour in my new bmw previously got this diesel very harsh sound can even hear from cabin..after 1 day of pour in..it works like magic! now i barely even hear the engine even if im standing outside near the car..

for the oil yes ive tried on 2000 waja and 2000 iswara..but i did the lambda flush before head..i cant comment on waja brother's car but i didnt drove for 1 time 50% smoother in term of gliding the car..but for iswara now the car glide even faster and very ringan..

you should try its worth your money for that price

i heard liqui moly brand from my fren.

he work in cycle carriage servicing Merz.

i haven try before, but i heard this germany oil very good because Merz all using it.

so hope more input from forumers, especially price wise versus performance.

i will contribute more after i tried it.

To me it's cheap and good enough..if you really want try motul or Chemlube baru ngam with performance wise

i am currently using toptec liqui moly 5wd40 .

used for ard 1 year plus :
1. german oil , fully syntectic can last ard 15,000km before oil change ( although is 10000km)
2 , engine performance are great and consistant throughout the 15000km.
3 . fuel efficiency ard 2% improvement ( i am a heavy footer)
4 . guarantee smoother engine ( main selling point)
5 . Lost lasting
6 . I can feel improvement of HP as rev can feel car is lighter( nt sure just my personal experience)

7. Cost rm245.00 for 4 litre ( worth the value )

how does liquimoly engine oil compare against amsoil?

how about MOS2 leichtlauf 4100 10W30 (Semi Synthetic) 4L?

He's already using both qmax and liqui moly lol

Added on July 28, 2011, 8:23 pmThe special thing about Liqui-moly's 10w30 and 10w40 is the MOS2 additive that's blended inside the oil, giving you optimum performance and protection.

Don't be surprised the Synthoil 5w40 gets outperformed by the semi 10w40. Proven

i poured the mos2 addictive into my shell helix ultra.. sedap... now, yg bising is my cracked extractor

I found that MOS2 leichtlauf 4100 10W30 (Semi Synthetic) 4L is the best for my car! Fits the recommended weight perfectly as per in the manual. I pay special attention to this as the CPS activator requires light-weight oil to perform at its optimum. I poured in the Ceratec as well..and I believe that the difference will be felt more if the engine oil does not already have the Mos2 additive.

The Mos2 does work. I admit that the last service, the Continental shop in Seksyen 7 Bangi has sold out, so I poured in HKS Fully Syn..Super NA Reponse 10W-38 methinks, it's good and smooth, but I miss the silkiness of the LiquiMoly.

Anyone want to buy Liqui Moly items and is located in JB can give me a call @ 019 778 6504.

Btw thank you SKYTECH bro

I'll let the oil do the talking. Please note that the semi synthetic MOS2 works much better than the Synthoil Fully synthetic

If anyone need to buy 5 liter of liqui moly oil, you can find them at QUICKSAVE in USJ 7. I just service my car this morning. The price i was quoted inclusive of oil change service. Also do my balancing and alignment here, must say they do good job.

Hi Arezfei,

Have you used Castrol Magnatec 10W40? which one is felt smoother on your CPS? I'm using Waja CPS.

hi, personally liqui moly mos2 would better than castrol. tested it on my old persona and indeed smoother and lighter pickup vs castrol.

Hi, many thanks for your review.. actually I've tried liqui moly 10W30 since it'recommended grade for CPS engine. It felt light and good trottling response but the engine sound was noisy and corse.

Any opinion if MoS2 additive would clog up the engine caused by sludge formation for a long usage (with normal range changing period at about 7000 km)? I know liqui moly is well known and established brand. Just curious..

i also a user of Liqui Moly Semi MOS2 10W-40.. use it for my vios 2008 model..
as other already mention, yup immediate effect after pour in.. before use it already use
- Mobil 1 Fully
- Castrol Edge Titanium
- Torco Semi
- Fully Toyota
the result is Liqui Moly with MOS2 is the best..

and for those who using fully EO, i read at the oil filter case mention that it capable to handle the filtration up to 5000km only, so when using up to 10k km or even 15k km, is the oilf filter get

well cps engine i do feel its noisy. I have a friend who using CPS, the engine sound was indeed noisy vs normal campro where its smoother for Mos2 liqui moly. For additive, i have not try it yet and for me, i will only do oil change on time and no engine problems till i sold. Mileage more than 200k km..

Great... Will try 10W40 for my next EO change. Will use liqui moly flush as well..

I wonder if the 5w20 liqui moly is brought in to Malaysia..

u wanna use with what engine/car bro? is it fully?

This one is made exclusively for the Ford 1.0L EcoBoost engine

Been using 10-40 semi MOS2 since last two EO change, going third next.. do we need flushing after few usage?

This post has been edited by benson92: Mar 25 2016, 03:27 PM

until today no matter what crop engine oil I use in sure to buy mo2 additive

owh.. tq for ur info

been using LM toptec for the last 50k or more than that. I even maintain a habit of using their engine flush, addictiv and fuel injection cleaner every time I change my oil.

juz hit 100k mileage last week. 2006 Vios.. the engine still run and feel like out of factory.. quick respond whenever i step on pedal.

Is it liqui moly 10 - 30 w oil is black color?

10W30 MoS2 same colour as 10W40 MoS2.. grey colour..

almera uses 0w20 EO... nissan EO made by idemitsu. if u have a new car why not give it a try. personally i think liqui moly s/s with MOS2 a bit pricey. I use Petro Canada s/s Supreme 5w30 in 2010 blm and cheaper. Got from a seller in facebook. below market price. smooth n quieter engine compare other oil. i had nvr use liqui moly so cannot compare, can compare the price only..

Anyone know where can i get liqui moly in ipoh?

search in Mudah
I saw seller in Bercham

I only use P2 Axia, still recommend to use liqui moly or just waste of money because my engine small one only? which type u guys recommend for Axia?

is liquid molly 10-40w viscosity is lil bit tick for civic 1.8? as Honda website they have change oil their oil product line up to 0-30w even prev fully syntht recommen for type r 5-40w was change to 0-30w.

any advice should i change back to 0-30?

and thus the viscosity really affect the fuel consumption and make car more sluggish as hybrid is using 0-20w.

does 0-30w really ligght compare to 10/40w?

thanks

Bro, use back the original recommend oil. If use thicker oil, you will experience more worst FC or sluggish pick-up..

Engine may vibrate more and engine warm up also slower during cold start due to ticker oil is slower to reach the whole engine area in short time compare to lighter oil..

anyone tried the new Liqui Moly molygen, the one with the green packagin

not using with Liquy Moly gbx oil 75W-90? but a bit expensive la, rm100+ per 1 liter.. huhu

Save your money la. As long as use the correct thickness of oil then no problem d. Alot of this 'feel' people talking about is placebo effect. It's true there are differences, but real world it's pretty negligible. Synth tends to last longer than semi, but if you change according to a set mileage then anything also can. I have experience using liquimoly at one end of the scale to not changing the oil for a whole year of hard driving at the other end. The car just get more sluggish, but a complete teardown of the engine shows no additional wear or sludge buildup. Your Axia has one of the toughest engines out there, not some cerewet continental. So I would save my money and spend it on a nice dinner with family and friends.
If you want suggestion, buy Petronas and help out our economy abit, the Germans already rich enough.

All fresh oil changes feel smooth initially. For MoS2 it is very quiet and silent. Again butt dyno on MoS2... approaching 5000km starts to felt (very) slight sluggish in rev-ing. So perhaps it behaves just like a semi.

Just go full synth, or if pocket deep, go ester based.

Otherwise those Shell Helix Ultra full synth is good enough. Oh wait, isn't Axia 0w20? MoS2 is 10w30 or 10w40.

One of our Pug owners using Moly, its its a bit heavy due to the additive.

I also using Additive on my 308T. The car feels heavy yet smoother

Liqui-Moly is a top-tier oil brand for superbike

Hello, would like to ask anyone use liqui moly for volkswagen TSI model? which type of engine oil recommend?

just use castrol, motul or moly sucks on tsi, make engine shake only

Just buy and pour the Luqui Moly Ceratec. is around 14x... last up to 50k mileage

proven to smoothen the engine and engine respond quicker. I've tried it and it works as advertised.

Less than RM120 can get.

Lol....those conti sc in my are not using this brand! The cost of this brand will eat into their profit margin ! Used to use chemlube but had since stopped few years ago coz can't tahan the cost! It's not even one L a tin!but it's a bloody good oil in my opinion !

Finding any E/O brand which viscosity is 0W20~
Then u see which one suit you~
As 0W20 mostly are fully syn ,so the price tend will be higher a bit~

Ceratec is different additive compare MOS2 right? But which one is better?
Rm140 can last for 50k km not quite bad..

the MOS2 is already provided with the 10W40 semi oil. Adding the ceratec additive just enhances the engine respond. I can sense instant result like throttle response.

I've tried the Ceratec on my CR-V 2nd gen K20A, engine rpm climbs easier.

Worth to try it. But i do encourage an engine flush for mileage above 100k to feels its full potential. Weirdly my mechanic guy doesn't recommend me using Liqui Moly engine flush treatment as the result wasn't pleasing. End up he use a bottle of 3Bond throttle body and spray into my engine oil cap to clean it and flush out.

Anyone using ceratec before?will it change the engine oil color when pour out in next oil change?plan to using it but my car still in warranty,scare will detected by sc foreman.

ceratec is in dark grey colour..... used engine oil will be black in colour....i doubt foreman could visually differentiate them during oil change

It still turns black like any other oil during oil change.. just cloudier black than others.

Yeah, really respect foreman that can differentiate used engine oil... what oil put in also come out very dark brown or black color.

And yes, i used Ceratec additive. Felt engine was slightly smoother, but it could just be because new oil. Engine always feels smoother after oil change for me.
So in my opinion, not worth the money.

Is it worth to pour ceratec into my old Proton saga? The car already consume engine oil, is it a waste to pour such expensive additive into the engine? I just want to give it a try... 😂

Ceratec doesnt stop oil consumption. And it is not needed if you use quality oil. Ceratec is never needed by any car manufacturer and that tells what it is for.

Use any branded High Mileage oil that is within your budget.

will it impose negative impact on the engine ? btw i am using mos2 now, it's silky smooth, thinking of trying out ceratec

No side effect. I already pour new ceratec after 30,000km usage. I’m using liqui moly mos 10W/40 semi

May I know what car is it? You have been using semi since the car is new?

old mpv. naza ria GS

hi guys, my mileage now clocked at about 180k KM and im using the 5w30 oil . and i been getting an oil drip everytime i parked. is it because of the oil viscocity? should i go for 10w30 or 10w40? whats the difference between those two?

Just go and check where is it exactly leaking then fix it properly. It can be many things, most common is one of the seals.

10w30 is thinner oil than 10w40.

For your liquid moly fans out there... sad truth liquid moly is on the down now.. Even Amazon own basic budget oil is performing more better compare to them and cheaper cost.. liquid moly already become a high cost brand..

repair your engine seal.

For your case maybe you should try Engine Restorer

Hi, for old Estima with 180,000 km ODO, is Liqui Moly MOS2 semi syn oil or Shell Helix Ultra (fully syn) better ?

Both are 10W-40

The latter

My vote would otherwise go for the earlier, Liqui Moly.

If it were me I would go for Liqui Moly not because it's semi but because it has Molybdenum Disulfite to help coat the engine with MOS (but it's not a permanent repair, its only during the oil lifespan)

Here is a video of independant test:

Does Liqui Moly MOS2 Work?

https://products.liqui-moly.com/mos2-leicht...-10w-40-14.html

Liquid Moly 10W-40 only meet API SL, ACEA A3/B4 specification

https://www.shell.com.my/motorists/oils-lub...hx7-10w-40.html

Shell Helix already meet latest API SN/CF, ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4; JASO SG+; MB approval 229.3; VW 502 00/505 00; Renault RN0700, RN0710. Meets the requirements of Fiat 955535-G2

Base on API standard, Shell is already on the lead compare to Liqui Moly. If you ask me to choose, i will go for Shell.

Very negligible results and you lose out a lot on the base oil which is equally, if not more important than additives.

Hi all, newbie here.
Yesterday tried liqui moly 3 in 1 ( additive, flush engine, injector cleaner) after promote by car mechanic. Im using petronas semi 10w40. What can i say my car less vibrate, engine feel smoother, more pickup. Even my wife tht know nothing abt car also can say engine quieter n dashboard less vibrate.

Hyundai Getz 1.3 2004, mileage 150km

yes and ok. As long engine oil got lube will not jam.

Never really convinced on Liqui Moly, seems like overrated/overpriced oil just because it's a German brand. In Project Farm comparison tests, it already lost out just in the first round and the lab tests also just came out average or lower.

how does liqui moly compare with our national oil Petronas Syntium? I am contemplating to try Liqui Moly vs Petronas Syntium 3000...

Petronas actually makes very good oils, I'd rather take that over LM.

plus peace of mind buying petronas engine oil from their petrol station to avoid fake engine oil

Wow thanks mate. In fact, i just comparing around that LM like the Molygen isnt really worthy with the price above RM200. For Petronas
Syntium, is quite affordable RM180 for a fully synthetic.

If above rm200, I'd rather take Amsoil.

I first time bought petronas EO semi on shopee with free oil filter. After using a few km, i noticed my car become heavy. Then bought again from shopee but this time from petronas official store. U know what? A lot different on their bottle even manufacturing date. If u care abt ur car, get from authorised dealer or shop

I meant printing style

Yup. Amsoil is anytime better option if over RM200..

If want cheaper option, Pennzoil is also the better oil compare to average in market.

Yes Pennzoil Ultra is actually also very good.

Where to buy pennzoil? Any official store?

Can ask Pennzoil Malaysia FB.

currently im using rockoil engine oil , bought from rockoil malaysia official store via shopee .. if buy via online me myself always go for official store , physical shop always go for kakimotor kajang or petrol station around my place

Kakimotor also got official store in shopee. Planning to buy liqui moly for next service

yup i did noticed that kakimotor got official store in shopee .. the best engine oil ive tried : motul , liqui moly and also rockoil

Those 3 brand better thn petronas? Currently im using petronas semi 10w40 + liqui moly additive+ injection cleaner+ flush engine. Feels good even old car

never had a chance to use petronas engine oil .. so i cant compare with those 3 ive mentioned .. but im sure its good and make sure to purchase it from the petrol station itself to avoid fake engine oil .. you are on the right track to make sure your car run smoothly

Good to see old topic still running. Btw i just poured in 10w40 mos2 with ceratec for 2 days, and drove like 100kms alrdy

My verdict is engine feels silky smooth, however, also at the same time heavier. Not sure if its just me or what. But heck yes engine is loads quiter than before tho.

May try ester based stuff next. But for now, liqui moly deserves a shout out for making my campro sound bit quieter.
