Back in the 60’s I changed the oil in my 66 bug every 1000 miles. Because it was air/oil cooled I felt that it was the way to go. Car always ran better after the oil refresh ! Thanks, RickGTI….. 🌴
Great to see you do a Liquid Moly : MoS2, Oil change and Engine flush 👍🏻 I have used these products on my Mk4 Jetta wagon 1.8t and Mk2 Scirocco 16v, I've been very satisfied with the results! One more step closer to Euro Tripper 2023 😎🛣️
I really need to get my rear main seal replaced so I can start using better oil. Thanks for the content, I will be flushing the motor at the next change.
Where did you get the Porsche rims and what size tires are on the rims? My VW OEM 17" rims have a factory powder coat that faded badly over the last 18.5 years. Thought about having the powder coat stripped off and a new powder coat applied. However, the expense would be more than a new set of replacement rims. If I replace the wheels, a set of Porsche wheels, like yours, would be a nice upgrade. Might see if I can buy a set at a junkyard.
I don’t think you’re supposed to mix the Mollygen with the MOS because it already has a well balanced technology. Adding extra additives will take it off balance
@@jumpman2390 just following what the people from liqui moly told me to use 🤷🏼♀️ literally have an email from the people who engineer the stuff and that’s what they recommended.
Surprised to see your oil looking this 3:25 dirty after 3,000 miles. I have owned my '04 VW GTI VR6 since it was new, do all oil changes myself. I only use Castrol 05W-40 and change the oil once a year, every January. Averaging 9,000 miles a year. The oil looks cleaner than yours. I don't get it. Maybe it's the climate? My car primarily runs in the high desert of southern California and Orange County California. Admittedly, in the last year the car has developed an oil leak, so some new oil is periodically added, but not much. I'm very satisfied with Castrol 05-40. Never tried Liqui Moly and don't get why it seems to be perceived as better than other motor oils for European cars. If anyone can explain it to me, I'm interested in understanding. Nice car!
From my understanding of engine flush, you dump it in the with the current oil, run it for 15 mins then drain, refill with new oil to get any engine flush deposits/residue out, then drain that and refill. I just would be concerned doing it the way you did that there will be some residual engine flush in the oil you'd be keeping in there for a while.
I did it the way Liqui moly engineers suggested. Drained the old dirty oil out. Put it fresh cheap oil. Added the engine flush. Ran for 15 min then drained everything out. Then filled with fresh Liqui moly oil. You can add engine flush to the old oil and do it that way but they say for even better results to add the engine flush to fresh oil, drain that, and then add the new oil and good to go.
@@Mk3Smith Would that cavitate the engine oil or does the fluid level return to normal over time? I want to do this to my vr6 but im worried adding the 5L ish of oil plus another 1L of MoS2 would cavitate the oil...
@@snaswedey the 2.5 came in mk5, mk6 and B7. Castrol 5w40 is factory fill for 2.5 when it was out. Currently VW isn’t using Castrol for oil anymore. They use Mobil now. But Castrol is what mk4 and 5 was used and developed with.
@@isaacparnaby8607 wao!! sexy configuration and beautiful car with 12v amazing sound. I would like swap that on my wagon too. but sadly here is common just expensive golf 24v with 4motion.

@@RedondoBeach2 Not anymore here in germany. Castrol changed that, maybe 10 years ago to an hydrocrack. When yours is still full, than it's a very good choise though.
I don't understand why would you put fresh oil in the engine it's going to filter it sort of a waste of money I just did it recently on my 350Z my oil had 3200 mi dumped in the engine flush let it idle for 15 minutes. The only thing differently when I drained out the oil I did have the car angled on a jack stand to drain out as much as the oil on the bottom of the sump. I did fill up with MOS 02 along with liqimoly 530
Well I literally said in the video you can add the engine flush to the current oil in the car but for even better results you can add some fresh cheap oil first, add the engine flush to that so everything is clean and then flush it all out before adding the new Liqui moly oil. It’s just the way I did it. You can do it however you like.
A belly pan shield does nothing for lowered cars. Speed bumps don't give way for a belly pan. The best way to protect the pan is to raise the car to original factory height.
@@edinko8973 any pan, regardless of the material construction, gives less clearance between it an the ground. Again, speed bumps don't give a $^!* what about how durable a pan is, that pan still make a connection to the car, and when it's hit, the more firm the pan, the harsher the transfer of that impact to the connecting point of that pan to the vehicle. Real damage is being done in that impact, even if the oil pan is protected.
Weird cause I spoke directly to the engineers from Liqui moly and that’s what they told me I should use for the car so it’ll be just fine 👍🏼 and yes it’ll turn brown like every other oil.
in case you didnt know the molygen oil glows under black light. good way to check for engine oil leaks
This. Great stuff, use it in all my cars.
In case you didn't know, it turns black like every other oil in short order.
i used Molygen 5w-40 on my last oil change and there is a big difference in how much quieter and smoother it runs.

i run that same oil in my wagon as well
Great video ! I have had the oil miss the pan, it sucks.
I have never used this oil, will have to try it.
You want the old oil to be dark at the specific interval, that means it’s removing and collecting deposits and contaminates.
Next time you use the MOS2 it’s thick stuff so not all of it comes out you can pour a little regular oil in the bottle mix it up and dump it
Mos2 oil not recommanded for vw cars
This is the wagon I was talking about
Molygen + mos2 proved to be the best combination for my car,engine is so quiet and smooth,at least for me it was better than top tec+ ceratec
Man you keep your cars so damn nice!!
