Consider the fact that you lubricate all components like bearings, crank and cam ones (which basically are the most important). Your pistons are the least important in regards to engine lubrication. Stick with approved oil, trust me on this one!

+A Dude Most engine bearings are hydrostatically/hydrodynamically pressure lubricated and pistons are boundary layer/film strength splash/mist lubricated and oil for for both are equally important. Lubrication is only one function of motor oil in an engine, whether stock or all out high performance.

My MKIV R32 Back in 2004 called for Mobil 1 0W-40, at that time Volkswagen had a contract with Mobil , I still use it till this day and I changed my oil today!

I've got a 92 GTI with a 2.0 16 valve and it would take 20w 50 for the summer; however, during the winter I ran 10w 40. This was over a decade ago. Thank you!

This is the video that gives you all the information needed. Unfortunately, there are few that kind of explanations out there. Good job

PAO is not "raw petrol" as he states at 6:33 To break it down in basic chemistry... Group 1-3 is long-chain simple hydrocarbons. Just a string of single-bonded carbon with hydrogen filling most of the the open bonds. The longer the carbon chain, the "heavier" the molecule, which is more viscous, less volatile, and more stable (for reference, Butane is a 4 carbon chain, Octane is an 8 carbon chain, whereas motor oil is around a 25-30 carbon chain). The more carbon-hydrogen bonds are filled in the molecule, the more "saturated" the molecule, which makes it more stable for a given weight. Group 1 is distilled from a solvent base, and has the lowest saturation Group 2 is distilled in the presence of hydrogen, filling most of the open hydrogen bonds, and creating more saturated molecules Group 3 is "hydro-cracked", where heavier hydrocarbons treated with hydrogen under heat and pressure are "cracked" to become "lighter"/shorter chain hydrocarbons with almost all the hydrogen bonds filled Group 4, or Poly Alpha Olefin (PAO), is also a long chain hydrocarbon. But, at one end of the molecule (in the "Alpha" position) is double-bonded carbon. This slippery synthetic molecule containing double bonded carbon is, by nature, more stable and less volatile than even a fully-saturated simple hydrocarbon. Group 5 is a catch-all for everything else (silanes, alkylated benzenes, esters, etc.).

Actually, molecules in a PAO base stock do not have C=C double bonds. C=C double bonds (or Pi electron systems) are highly reactive by nature so you would not want them in an engine oil. PAO molecules are synthesized as polymers from alpha-olefines which are defined by having a single C=C double bond on the first (so-called alpha position) carbon atom of the chain. During the polymerization, the C=C bonds are being broken and used to form long-chained base stock molecules, ideally with a high grade of isomerization as well (which is necessary for a high viscosity index). Also, HC or PAO does not state anything about the base stock's actual quality. Both processes can produce comparable results depending on the way the process is handled and which catalyst is used. There are poor HC base stocks which are inferior to even mid-quality PAO base stocks, but high quality HC base stocks can compete with even a good PAO in every aspect. The only thing that really sets PAO apart is that you can good quality and a base stock with high selectivity with a relatively easy effort, compared to HC. Sadly, you will never know how good or bad your engine oil's base stock actually is if you have an unused oil because no one will tell you about the base stock's viscosity index (VI). The only VI you will ever see is the one printed in the product data sheet - and this one is for the engine oil itself (which contains additional viscosity index improvers, especially if you run a higher viscosity range like 0W-40, 5W-50 or 10W-60).

I like my Liqui Moly for years and years now, probably since when this video went online. Here in Germany it is widely available and considered the "good" oil to put in last after a flush. The oil, the additives (used with care and caution) and the overall perception makes me feel good using these products. Others might be just as good but I think LM is quite transparent about what they do AND they actually get back to you when you have a question as an end user. Quite good

See, THIS is what I wanted to know when I worked in an oil change business, but nobody working there knew! It disturbed me greatly to work with "professionals" who knew nothing about the product, thus I knew nothing as well. Great job, guys!

Very cool stuff; it was a good refresher most of the way through. The approval versus spec bit was completely new to me, though! It's also good timing because I am arranging an interview with an oil company near me, and I will need some good questions for them.

I own a 1991 Ford Explorer which I purchased new. The recommended oil at the time was 20W-50 and I have used it ever since. Every engine rebuild manual says that synthetics will not work in my 4.0L engine. Despite that, I have tried both blends and pure synthetics - 5W30, 0W40, etc. Both turn black and drop my oil pressure. When I go back to the 20W-50 my oil pressure returns to normal and the oil becomes clean. One mechanic told me that the synthetic was blowing by the rings and that was what was causing the black. So, I guess the moral of the story is that many older engines, at least mine, will not tolerate synthetics. Love the channel - thanks for the great info.

This was the most savvy interview with Steffen of LiquiMoly that I've seen thus far. Super informative!

I've been using Royal Purple 10w-30 in my Honda B18A1 since it was built 30k miles ago re-bored at +.020. No complaints so far but never really had anyone tell me how well matched it is to my engine.

Good video guys. I love it when the train spotting chemical engineers commenting, start to pull apart wayward remarks etc. The API grades and SAE oil viscosity recommendations by your vehicle manufacturer's is about all we need to be critical about when selecting oil but always from the perspective of the temperature range that we expect to operate the engine at. What I am curious to learn though, is whether there are any inherent disadvantages when using oils with very large viscosity ranges such as 0W-50 and 10W-60.

Last year, I found out that liqui moly makes 0W16 specifically made for Toyota and Honda engines that require that oil. It’s what I’m currently using right now and so far I’m having good experience with liqui moly and I also use Amsoil.

I use Liqui Moly 5W-30 in my 2004 BMW 760 for 11 years no issues,130K no smoke. Nice video.

When you need engine oil, go the website of your preferred brand and use their Oil Checker to get a quote for the right oil you need. Most of the oil checkers ask for the car registration. Others go off make, model and year but its very easy to find the right oil. By the way, if its a 5w30 application, I always use VW504.00/507.00 spec oil because 504.00/507.00 is for both petrols and diesels and has a superior additive package.

That was great, thanks! I just want to say that I appreciate the collapsible pour spout that Liqui-Moly oil bottles come with. Very nice touch. 😁

Liqui Moly and Motul certainly lead the pack in price but other brands make the same claims about quality and lubrication technology. If you have the right multigrade and specification, adhere to the recommended oil changes, I believe you'll keep your engine healthy no matter which brand you use.

I learned something new about the newest changes in the oil, and one was with the 5W-30 oil, which my vehicles uses except for one and didn't know that the W stands for Winter driving.

Thanks Charles another good and informative video.

I thought I knew a lot about oil. This was great now I know much more. I like the idea of the recipe mix.

I definitely learned something from this video. Pentosin oil is my preference. Thanks for the video..

I have a 2001 E320 wagon with 385k (city) miles on it and other than oil changes (0w40 Mobil 1 for me), I have not had to do any repairs to the engine itself. I have changed MAF's and crank position sensors once each, and because of the dual spark plugs per cylinder MB's plug interval is every 150k miles! Same goes for the 722.6 transmission, one of the best automatics. If the early 2000s Mercedes' didn't have the rust issue, they would be considered the last bulletproof benz.

Can anyone explain to me the difference between Leichtlauf High-tech and Synthoil Premium? I know Leichtlauf is the newer oil but is it really any better than Synthoil Premium? I'm looking to buy some oil in bulk on Amazon and I really hope to have this question answered before going through with any purchases.

Great and informative video...

Why is the first value called "Winter" when it's the viscosity measurement at 40C, which is over 100F? That ambient temp sounds like Summer to me. Winter is usually more like 0C or 32F.

Appreciated the vid guy...

Excellent excellent video. Thanks! Used Liquimoly in my 2012 TDI... until VW was forced to but it back by the evil EPA. Only one VW left here now. I've had A4, B5, A5, and common rail. I had to make sure which damn oil goes in what! But now I have a vehicle that can use Rotella, thank God! No more 501.3, 502, 50whatever to keep straight.

A1/B1 andA5/B5 are low HTHS VI. oils .>2,9; and A3/B3 and A3/B4(B4 stand for direct injection diesel engine and,B3 for indirect diesel injection)with HTHS >3.5,

Can i use 5w-30 API CH-4 or higher (API) on Ranger T6? As the manual says, the oil "should" be 5w-30 ACEA A5/B5 when the diesel fuel sulfur content is 350 ppm (EURO 2). As of now the fuel here in Philippines is EURO 4.

What you think about mobil ones euro formula of 0w-40 I live were it gets real hot an also cold I can only get 0w-40 in the jug id like to use 5w 40w my car does have high miles and is tuned ,I'm gonna try liquid moly on next change an I only use man oil filter, which are getting harder to find ,I change my oil at every 3 to 4000 idc if it can go longer once it look to dark it's outta there
