Here is how I would like to introduce Liqui-Moly to you folks out there.....

​

If you have been on a car forum and you were that guy who started a thread about which oil the S62 Engine in you beloved M5 prefers, you probably got internet yelled at with a deafening LIQUIMOLY 10W60!!!!

​

I can tell you with hand on my heart, personal experience that this oil has so far been the best oil I have used in my car.  A couple of years ago, I acquierd a 2000 Avus Blue M5.  The 2000 model M5 had the dubios reputation of needing oil top ups every 1000 miles or so.  Mine was susceptible to this issue, but in addition to that, it had the VANOS rattle from hell.  It had a decent amount of miles on it - over 100K -and it had been well maintained with copious records to back it up.  The records from the previous owner showed the car had received oil changes every 3000 miles, EVERY 3000 miles.  However, it was being filled with 20W5 Oil.  NOT GOOD!  They car need a light enough oil on start up, and a think of durable enough oil at operating temperatures - which is why the good lads in Dingolfing recommended 10W60 Oil.

​

First order of business on that car was to replace the oil.  I did not think twice or hesitate once - I went to one of my parts suppliers to pick up 7 quarts of Liqui-Moly 10W60 Synthetic Oil.  I kid  you not, on first start  up with the LiquiMoly the engine ran quiet.  I don't mean it was quieter, I mean it was QUIET - PERIOD!!!

​

After the oil change, it ran smoother, quiet'er and there was reduced  oil consumption.  This was my first experience with LiquiMoly and I have not looked back since as far as my choice of Motor Oil. My personal experience would be enough for me to have loyalty towards this brand, but it gets better.

​

When I came up with my crazy idea to drive cross country, I knew that there was only one brand of oil I wanted in the engine.  I reached out to LiquiMoly and got in touch with Mike Crosby in Southern California.  As soon I as presented my idea, their response was, "We like it, whar do you need?".  They were up and ready to help support this adventure.  I met Mike and a few of the team at the last Bimmerfest and I was a blast and a pleasure.  They are such down to earth fun guys and I am proud and delighted to not only patronize their products but to have them as partsner and sponsors of this trip.

​

If you have the opportunity to ever use their products, I assure you it will be money extremely well spent!
