Liquid-Moly no longer LL-01 certified?

A quick look at their site has them shifting their descriptions on their recommended oils from "Approved" to "Liqui-Moly recommends" -- ie. similar to Redline claims, etc. I think I saw a notation about May 2018 (possibly their expired cert date?).


Anyone have any insight?

I always thought that it was never officially LL01 and always was "recommended" which is why I never bought their oil.

I’d strongly consider Pennzoil Euro 5W-40 with the Ferrari logo.

My UOAs came out as good as they can be. I had higher iron wear with Redline.

Anything that is Porsche A40 certified and ACEA A3/B4 is good enough for our cars. BMW has phased out the LL-01 certification anyway in favor of their new FE standards and 0w30 oils.
