QUOTE(MR_alien @ Jan 6 2021, 05:39 PM) that's because liqui moly oil looks thicker than other brand's oil despite same viscosity and yes for the quieter part since i used it since many many years ago but my recent oil change, i go and use a cheaper mobil super 2000 x2 10W-40 because i wanna save some money to change my very old fuel filter and yes, it's noticeable a bit louder than usual(when i'm using LM oil) Not only LM, based on my usage exp I notice mostly EO meet both API & ACEA std/spec a bit thicker compare to EO only design to meet API std/spec..

QUOTE(Post-Je-Ape-Ape @ Jan 6 2021, 02:28 PM) 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. careful in mixing both of these. I work on both of this stuff before. rigorous testing etc. Caused the Honda FD engine jammed and need to be overhauled.

Ceratec ia based on Boron oxide, while mos2 is based on molybdenum disulphide. Both gmhave different chemical structure and serve two different purpose. And they are inmiscible, together. I work on both raw materials before, Mr. Know It All but Not All This post has been edited by Jay Chua CC: Jan 7 2021, 04:19 PM

I work on both raw materials before, Mr. Know It All but Not All i didn't know that because i saw when they pour it out, it looks the same as the EO since the label/description also mention it acts as anti-wear/wear protection, i thought it's the same as molybdenum and they usually recommend people to add on for whatever oil the customer uses on their oil change This post has been edited by MR_alien: Jan 7 2021, 05:26 PM

Ceratec is milkly colour while mos2 is totally black. how is that same? do you even see before?
