SL doesn't mean it's low quality, alright? These API standards are only benchmark lines. So what if the oil bottle describes "exceeds API SL/SM"? Have you really tried liqui moly's oils?

By the way... the oil IS GREYISH BLACK IN COLOUR

Added on July 7, 2011, 10:34 pmusing a 0w30 and 5w30 is not gonna make any difference I shall say. You should take a look at a VISCOSITY CHART and have a look at 0w and 5w is at WHAT TEMPERATURE. And we willch never, ever experience none of these temperatures, not even in Genting nor Cameron.

Heck, I've even used SAE40 monogrades in my engine without any problems. These oils are better in general as they don't have polymers to stretch the viscosities. So.. where's the damage?


You've been telling the whole forum that you can't, or it's not advisable to use a 0w30 on a viva. Therefore, everyone got this wrong knowledge and follow, thus the conclusion to your facts.


No offense, but do you really know how to read the viscosity chart?


Lastly, if you agree that Liqui Moly's Oil is only at SL and is deemed lousy, here's a fact :

I respect all my Threebond customers when they say they get E oil from online sellers, at a much cheaper price than I sell my LiquiMoly and Qmax. However, the moment they pour a bottle of liqui moly engine oil into their crankcase, I'm deemed to get return customers.

Liqui Moly retains it's oil quality even after 5-6k

Added on July 7, 2011, 10:36 pmAnother fact?


Use too thick of an oil for engine, the oil doesnt pass through the oil channels properly.

Use too thin of an oil for engine, you lose oil pressure


Use too thick of an oil for engine, it becomes sluggish

Use too thin of an oil for an engine, premature failure and seizure due to lubricating film breaking at certain circumstances

Added on July 7, 2011, 10:38 pmAnswer is NO. Because 0w50 is too thick for viva. That's common sense. If 0w30 I'd happily agree

You flushed the engine already . You know what to try next lol.

as i mentioned in the other oil thread. It's all about advertising.

The MOS2 additive is what makes the engine oil a tad pricey compared to their competitors. And also do note that the 5w40 Synthoil fully synth from Liquimoly do not have MOS2.. hence I carry Qmax as it performs much better.

Or well.. maybe there were just plain dumb =.=

looks like my long post of right facts went unread =.=

cold start at cold temperatures referring to the viscosity chart, not 'malaysian' chart.


lol

and why not the piston rings?

selalu = always

biasanya = normally?

thanks., learnt something new today

piston rings are a wear and tear item. sooner or later you'll have smoke through the exhaust... if not, breather pipe on top of the cam cover.

Piston may be slapping due to loose rings, bore may be eating up, etc.

this is how you'lls care the customer most. Why not just do a simple compression test before taking the head off? It's no guarantee that the rings are okay even if you try to move the pistons to check for slappings.

I'd trust a compression dry and wet test before performing a top overhaul anytime over trying to move your piston around. For all you know you may be losing 10psi per cylinder whilist the pistons are still tight.

not same for all engines mind you
