Moly lubro oil?
I started using Moly lubro and now the engine runs a lot smoother maybe even gained a horse or 2. I was surprised when I started pouring it because it clear like water and it didn't smell like oil, but it was thick. I put 3000 miles on it and the car doesn't burn anymore oil not even half a quart. What's your opinion on this oil? Anything better? BTW its full-synthetic

I haven't tried Moly Lubro, but I hear it's pretty decent. I use BMW oil in mine and have used Mobil 1 synthetic in most of my previous cars.

Lol I put it on a dyno .... No but it revs better and feels "newer". My car has 80k miles on it so maybe it helped the engine. I think its better then Pennzoil ultra.

These oils tend to run a little bit lighter than the LL-98, with a Kvis100 range of 11.3 to 14.1, averaging about 12.3. HTHS averages about 3.6, TBN about 10.4, and density about 0.849." |

1. Why do you and the BMW website advocate LL01 oils which have weights that differ greatly from what was specified on the engine by the manufacturer? 2. You maintain that BMW LL01 testing is required for all BMW engines, yet have no explanation for why BMW does not use LL01 oil in its M engines. 3. If BMW does not require testing of LL01 above 0W40(a weight, BMW does not recommend for any of its engines, per the part number written on them), why then do quite a few oils from manufacturers such as motul, total, pentosin, etc have LL01 approved oils with weights above 0W40. Why did BMW test, and approve those oils, but not use them in the M engines? Quote:

Track rat to sum up my points: Please stop badgering people on this site, and for heavens sake, stop hijacking every single oil thread. The only thing that can be taken from your rants, is that yes obviously while under the warranty period, go to the dealer and change your oil, or buy any BMW LL01 oils, not on some silly website, but the ones that have the approval listed on their back label. After the warranty is over, please change all the "lifetime fluids" ASAP. Oh yeah, and feel free to use any synthetic oil you want. |

I use Line Red and I love always! It make my car run good but when for wheels are on car and run same directions. I do not know but other day the rear wheel go forward and front wheel go back. I think because Line Red is not LL-10 approve. It is true. But my fooly automatic transmission shifts smoother after engine oil change but only when press the pusher next to the break. Line Red must be close to LL-10 spefication but it need more work. This is oil is magical oil and I take a spoon every day to give Alli a run. Make me feel much better.

It has no sense to try to educate a few folks on this forum. The "we hate manufacturer approved fluids and think that dishwater is much better" clowns doesn't even understand how ignorant they are. The concept is very simple. Manufacturers test their engines and fluids and require the use of those fluids to maintain warranty coverage. Use what the manufacturer has tested and requires and you'll be fine. Use some designer crap and any lubrication issues will be on your dime. It is completely and totally impossible for a car owner to tell the difference in oils - assuming they use the correct viscosity |

At it again are you trackrat. You completely ignored turkeys questions as you did mine!!! Sweet, you claim you can't use MSDS's however you posted spec sheets which are exact carbon copies of what BMW claims the oils should run. Your claims are baseless, you post nothing constructive such as BMW's own website. We asked for OUTSIDE sources, why not post BMW's sequence testing (which I have explained before is never going to happen because you dont have access to it). Also you tried to say BITOG is crap, which is laughable because it would actually educate these people on WHY your wrong.
Go troll else where and btw I just replaced the Royal Purple in my car with Amsoil European Formula, which the VW guys LOVE. |

You are totally missing the point. If you are under warranty and want to keep your warranty then you need to use a oil (and other fluids) that meets the specs set out by the manufacturer. For our cars in the US that means LL-01. In Europe that means LL-04. If you are out of warranty then you can use whatever you like. No consumer can tell the difference in oils, so you can continue to live under the delusion that RP or amSOIL is good for your car. Neither of those oils meets any specs for our cars (or VW for that matter.) I assume you are no longer under warranty so enjoy your amSOIL. |

1. SO during my "warranty" peroid, you want me to use only BMW LL01 approved oil, right? So can do I have to use the one at the stealership, or is it ok for me to use German made BMW LL01 oils such as pentosin, Total, motul, lubrimoly, etc? If its ok, and logical for me to go and buy these oils, with the same LL01 approval, written on the back labels by germans, and change the oil, then is my car still "warrantied"? When I come back to the stealership for work to be done on my car, can I show the the empty bottle with the LL01 written on the back label, just like the one they are selling? 2. If the answers to the above questions are yes, then if I change my oil with say redline, royal purple, or amsoil, and 4,000 miles later I come in for repair work, and they ask me if my oil was LL01 approved, and I say yes, how would they know the oil isn't? Oh, and don't tell me, its by the color of the oil, because thats just a stupid response. |

@ Ceb, still don't care what you say, honestly Moly is a more reputable company than Mobil and to the OP the Moly products would work wonderfully for you. |
