Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the main benefit of the MoS₂ additive?
The MoS₂ (Molybdenum Disulfide) additive forms a durable lubricating film on all rubbing and sliding metal surfaces, providing extra wear protection and minimizing friction, especially during startup and under high load conditions.
Is this oil suitable for older cars?
It is suitable for many gasoline and diesel engines. However, always check your vehicle's owner's manual for the specific oil viscosity (10W-40) and specifications (API SL, ACEA A3/B4) recommended by the manufacturer.
Can I use this oil if my car has a soot particle filter?
This oil is specially developed for vehicles *without* soot particle filters. Consult your vehicle manufacturer's specifications for oils suitable for vehicles equipped with particulate filters.
How often should I change this motor oil?
The oil change interval depends on your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations. Refer to your car's owner's manual for the specific mileage or time interval.
Will this oil improve my fuel economy?
The low-friction properties of the MoS₂ additive can help reduce internal engine friction, potentially leading to reduced fuel consumption. However, actual savings vary based on driving conditions and vehicle type.
What does 'Semi-synthetic' mean?
Semi-synthetic oil is a blend of synthetic base oils and conventional mineral oils. It offers improved performance and protection compared to conventional mineral oil but is typically less expensive than full synthetic oil.
Are there any special considerations for turbocharged engines?
No, this oil is tested and approved for use with turbochargers, offering enhanced protection under the higher operating temperatures and stresses associated with turbo-driven engines.
Troubleshooting
Oil level appears too high after refill
Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and wait at least 5-10 minutes after running the engine for oil to settle before re-checking the dipstick. Adjust if necessary.
Engine making unusual noises
Verify the correct oil viscosity (10W-40) was used and that the oil level is adequate. If the issue persists, it may indicate a mechanical problem requiring professional inspection.
Oil filter is difficult to remove
Use an appropriate oil filter wrench. Ensure you are turning it counter-clockwise. If seized, professional tools might be required.
Oil leaks detected after service
Check that the oil drain plug is tightened correctly and the washer is in good condition. Ensure the oil filter is properly seated and tightened. Inspect gaskets and seals for damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This 10W-40 motor oil is specifically formulated for gasoline and diesel engines. It is tested and approved for use with turbochargers and catalytic converters. However, *always* consult your vehicle and engine manufacturer's operating instructions and specifications to ensure this oil meets their requirements. It is generally suitable for vehicles without soot particle filters.
Changing the Oil:
- Ensure the engine is warm to facilitate oil drainage.
- Safely elevate the vehicle if necessary.
- Locate and remove the oil drain plug.
- Allow old oil to drain completely into a suitable container.
- Replace the drain plug with a new washer if recommended.
- Remove the old oil filter.
- Lubricate the rubber seal on the new oil filter with a thin layer of new oil.
- Screw on the new oil filter hand-tight, then tighten an additional 3/4 to 1 full turn as per filter instructions.
- Refill the engine with the correct amount and type of Liqui Moly MOS2 Leichtlauf 10W-40, as specified in your vehicle's manual.
- Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes, checking for leaks.
- Turn off the engine, wait a few minutes, and check the oil level on the dipstick, topping up if necessary.
Care: Regular oil changes according to your vehicle manufacturer's recommended intervals are crucial. Monitor oil levels periodically between changes. Do not mix with mineral oils unless explicitly stated as compatible by the manufacturer. Clean up any spills promptly.
