Liqui Moly Leichtlauf High Tech SAE 5W-40 | 5 L | Synthesis Technology Motor Oil | SKU: 2332

If you own a Mini Cooper S with the notorious N14 turbocharged engine, you already know how incredibly sensitive these cars are to oil quality and change intervals. I switched to Liqui Moly Leichtlauf High Tech 5W-40, and it has been an absolute game-changer for my car's performance and longevity. First and most importantly, this oil carries the strict BMW Longlife-01 (LL-01) approval, which is exactly what the N14 requires. Since making the switch, my engine runs noticeably smoother, and the typical valvetrain and timing chain rattle on cold starts has quieted down significantly. The N14 runs notoriously hot because of the turbo, and this fully synthetic oil handles those extreme temperatures perfectly thanks to its excellent shear stability. I've also noticed a welcome reduction in the infamous oil consumption these engines are known for, especially compared to the factory-recommended brand. The 5-liter jug is the perfect size for a complete oil change, making it a great value. If you want to protect your timing chain, keep your turbo healthy, and prevent excessive carbon buildup, do not skimp on cheap oil. Liqui Moly is the gold standard for European cars. I won't put anything else in my Mini!

Always good. High quality oil for European vehicles. Like the extending spout built in

Perfect

Good quality 👌 l ,recommend

I have been using this oil for over 20 years in all my 4 VW’s combined with Ceratec. Cold starts in Michigan winters are amazingly smoother and do 15k miles change intervals without any problems; I am sure I could go 20k easily especially because Ceratec extends its life even further. I have done one oil flush on 2 of my cars but since there was barely any sludge, I stopped doing it. I do the oil change while motor is at working temperature so it drains fully. I do not use anything else. Love this stuff.

Great motor oil.

I've been using this oil for a while now since switching from Mobil 1 and I can't say enough good things about it. Mobil 1 is a great oil and frankly more readily available than this stuff and oh cheaper to-boot. But for my "baby" nothing is too good. I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised at how well Liqui Moly holds up after 6k miles. Still golden color and minimal burn off / oil loss. Maybe it's psychological but it feels like my engine runs happier, smoother and quieter with this product. During my most recent oil change I also used Liqui Moly ProLine Engine Flush before draining the old oil and it was amazing to see the amount of sludge / deposits that were in the system even though I religiously change my oil every 5-6k miles though product is rated for 10k+ change intervals. I also added Liqui Moly Createc friction reducer to the new oil. Jury is still out as to the effect it will have but if my experience with the other products is any indicator I should be pleased with the results. Now, I did my research before using these products and everyone out there has an opinion on everything from "don't believe the hype" to aspiring chemists who give you their take on the class / chemical make up of the base and product. You'll go nuts reading and making sense of it all so my recommendation is go with your gut and choose the product that YOU feel works best...especially for your wallet. You can't go wrong with Liqui Moly, Mobil 1 or any of the other FULL SYNTHETIC oils. I did read however that in the US, oil manufacturers can call their product full synthetic is it has synthetic components whereas the products that originate from Europe / Germany must be 100% synthetic in order to carry the label. Makes me even happier to be using Liqui Moly manufactured in Germany. There are Liqui Moly products made in the USA so make sure the bottle says Made in Germany to be sure you are getting a Full Synthetic product. Please note: If you car is under manufacturer warranty though technically it cannot void the warranty even if dealer says otherwise, as a matter of personal preference I would only use the oil and not the additives like the flush or friction reducer. No sense getting into a war of words with the dealer/manufacturer. Since my car is a 2002 the only person I have to negotiate with is myself.

Great Product! Great Price!

I recently purchased this Liqui Moly Leichtlauf High Tech 5W-40 for my VW, and I'm absolutely thrilled with the results. The previous owner had been using the wrong oil specification, which triggered the persistent check oil light that wouldn't go away until I changed the oil. While the new oil was new and clean, it was simply the wrong oil. After doing some research, I discovered that this oil has the proper VW 502 00/505 00 approval that my car actually needs. The difference was immediate and remarkable. I changed the oil and filter using this Liqui Moly product, and within a few drives, the check oil light finally disappeared completely. It was such a simple fix for what seemed like a major problem. What really impressed me is the quality of this German-made oil. My engine runs noticeably smoother and quieter now compared to whatever inferior oil was in there before. This oil has official approvals from vehicle manufacturers including VW 502 00/505 00, which gives me complete confidence that I'm using exactly what my VW was designed for. The 5-liter container was perfect for my oil change, with just a little left over for top-ups. The oil has excellent flow characteristics and you can tell it's a premium product just by how it pours. Since switching to this oil, my car feels more responsive and the engine seems to run more efficiently. If you own a VW and are dealing with oil-related warning lights or just want to use the proper specification oil that your car deserves, don't hesitate to get this Liqui Moly. It's worth every penny to know you're using the right product with proper manufacturer approvals. Sometimes the simplest solution is the right one - proper oil and a fresh filter can solve so many issues!

El aceite es muy bueno, 11/10 pero lamentablemente la paquetería en la que fue enviado que en este caso fue Express, entregó la caja aplastada y una de la garrafas llegó un poco aplastada

I’m very happy with this engine oil. It runs smoothly and helps keep the engine feeling clean and well lubricated. The quality is excellent, and I would definitely buy it again. Great choice for regular maintenance.

Aparentemente exelente. Haber como responde el aceite con el uso.

This is the best oil you can use for European cars. This is the only oil I put in my b8.5 S5 and it's still driving like it's new at 220k kms. Barely burn any oil on this oil as well which is a huge issue on Audis in general. Highly recommend and price on amazon is not bad.
