I use a lot of Liqui Moly products out of my own pocket and I've had great results. The proof in the pudding was when a friend and I were driving our cars to a track day 300km away. When he serviced his oil on his 86, he didn't tighten the oil filler cap properly - around 20km from the track the cap came off and the engine vented the oil through the cap. We drove to a service station slowly and filled it again with oil - did the track day and then drove home. How did the engine survive? He said he uses MoS2 every single time, every oil change. I rebuild performance engines for a living. I thought the engine was absolutely toast due to low oil condition. But with a combination of regula MoS2 use and some conservative driving until we could fill it up again, it was 100% working and went on to do 20 motorkhana days 10 weekend 1000km hill runs and probably 30 track days - same engine that was run low on oil. He never changed the engine or repaired it - just kept on using MoS2. As a result we have a bit of a superstition around it and we only use it when it is compatible with the oil - you cannot add extra additives to an oil that is already full of it - it will ruin the oil. To do an accurate comparison, it needs to be done scientifically. 1. Constant load on dyno, for same time 2. Measure fuel consumption through a metering device or container / large burette 3. Record results. Now for the MoS2 friction and wear, 3 oil changes with 3 flushes, controlled load. 1. Flush oil, new oil, base line test - capture oil for analysis 2. Flush oil, new Oil, test with MoS2 - capture oil for analysis 3. Flush oil, new oil, Reference test - capture oil for analysis This will test the baseline and also test the MoS2 directly. For me, it's worth the money and fill. I only buy it when it's on discount at 1/2 price and stock up.
That's a great story, Probably with continuous use of MOS2 at every oil change and saturate the engine with MOS2 I can see the difference in performance, But in my case it doesn't happen instantly. Thanks for watching!!!👍
if you have a relatively new, well maintained vehicle and have done regular oil changes, you wont notice much if any difference. My 23 year old car definitely ran smoother and quieter after using it. Will definitely use it again
it does work 100% i use it in my motorcycle (motorcycle product, different because of the wet clutch aditives), you can feel it right away, engine is more elastic and builds up power much easier. Also it stopped consuming oil. BUT it is required for a worn out engine (as i have) it's not necesary and not ok to use it on good engines that have no problems.
I'm glad that it worked for you, But me, I'm disappointed, I didn't expect the result would be like this, I trust their brand and now I'm not sure. Thanks for watching!!!👍
Mann and castrol are ones of the worst brands out there ! Use mahle, knecht or OE filters for best results, i use Valvoline, Motul or liqui moly oils and they are great. 10k km and the oil level is the same, the difference on engine noise is huge compared with catrol. N47 320D
@@Motorsportsgeek Pennzoil high-mileage was great in my oil-burning/ oil-consuming Jeep. It was the only oil I found that tamed it a bit and the price was right at Wal-Mart in the big jugs.

You need to give it time to work through out the engine.
Use fuel system cleaner on every oil change before filling up gas tank stp 1 tank tune i use.
Same consumption because you did not reset the car computer... Empty again the oil and make all the test again.
How far did you drive? and did you test it for awhile?
Each drive is 60km per test ,Check out my speedometer and the result table at the end of video.

Thanks for the info, I'll keep that in mind.

Mann has some of the best oil filters in the world, and Castrol is really good oil. What are you on...
Just change it on time and you'll be fine. Pennzoil is great too and better value than over priced liqui moly is my opinion.

I thought bmw original oil is made from Castrol? So what are you on?
