Product Information

Full details

It provides robust protection for engines both with and without turbocharging, though it is essential to verify that your vehicle does not require a diesel particulate filter (DPF) before use, as this oil is intended for engines without such systems.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this in my diesel engine with a DPF?

No, this product is specifically for engines without diesel particulate filters (DPF).

Is this oil suitable for modern gasoline engines?

It is best suited for older engines or those with over 100,000 km. Consult your manual to ensure 15W-40 meets your specific manufacturer requirements.

How often should I change this oil?

Follow the oil change intervals recommended by your vehicle manufacturer, as these vary significantly based on driving habits and engine age.

Can I mix this with other engine oils?

While it is generally safe to top up with a compatible oil, it is best practice to use the same brand and grade for the entire oil change.

Is this a synthetic oil?

Liqui Moly Touring High Tech 15W-40 is a mineral-based or HC-synthetic performance oil depending on the specific batch formulation; always check the label for technical specifications.

Troubleshooting

Increased oil consumption

High-mileage engines may burn more oil; check levels every 1,000 km and top up as necessary if leakage or internal burning is suspected.

Oil pressure warning light stays on

Immediately check the oil level with the dipstick. If the level is correct, the issue may be a faulty sensor or oil pump failure; seek professional mechanic assistance.

Difficulty starting in extreme cold

15W-40 is a thicker oil; if you live in extremely cold climates, consider an engine block heater or ensure your battery is in top condition to support cranking.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ideal for high-mileage engines over 100,000 km
  • Compatible with both gasoline and diesel engines
  • Safe for use with catalytic converters
  • Reliable protection for turbocharged engines
  • Good value for a 5L container

Cons

  • Not suitable for vehicles equipped with diesel particulate filters (DPF)
  • Requires adherence to specific manufacturer operating instructions
  • Not a low-viscosity oil, which may not be suitable for modern, tight-tolerance engines

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper engine health, always refer to your vehicle owner's manual to confirm that a 15W-40 viscosity is approved by the manufacturer. This oil should be used in vehicles without particulate filters. During an oil change, ensure the engine is warm to allow for proper drainage of old fluids. Always replace the oil filter simultaneously with the oil change to prevent contamination of the fresh fluid. Store the container in a cool, dry place and keep it tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
