It's that time again, Liqui-Moly 0W-40 Synthoil Fully Synthetic Vs. Motul 5W-40 Xcess

[arjun90]

My Q5 is all stock using the OE Castrol 5W-40 oil. We all know the 3.0T motor is thirsty for oil. Has anyone used Liqui-Moly 0W-40 Synthoil Fully Synthetic or Motul 5W-40 Xcess Fully Synthetic on their Q5 and can share their feedback? Are you using any of these oils on the Q5 3.0T?

I've used Motul on my A6 3.0L and its done relatively, adding a quart every 3,000 miles or so, but recently moved over to Liqui-Moly, and the engine is remarkably quiet. Wonder if can experience the same on a Q5 3.0T.

[djn876]

Honestly mine's never really used any appreciable oil. I used Motul specific VW 505.00 5w40 and went through maybe 1/3 to 1/2 a quart between changes at 7500 miles or so.

Tried liquimoly this last time, leicht lauf high tech 5w40, and have burned almost 0 in over 5k miles. I'll probably stick with that, plus it is from FCP so free oil changes FTW.

[arjun90]

Curious to know, any reason why you didn't opt for Liqui Moly's 0W-40 (seems to be a higher Group than their 5W-40 as well)? Its going to be a cold winter here in the Northeast, at least that's what NOAA says,

Other than 5w-40 is what it had from the factory not really. Its been working well and burning nothing for me so far, so just never really saw a reason to change it.

I wouldn't mind an actually colder winter, then maybe the yard won't be mud pit and my winter tires wouldn't feel like marshmallows lol. Writing this as it's currently 60+ outside...

I need to try out these new winter tires in some snow!

[arjun90]

Some users are saying its a Group III oil and not IV. At the end of the day, is it really going to make a difference? Have you tried their Mos2 additive? I'm not all that fond of adding additives to the engine,

Mine has not been thirsty for oil. Not even with higher stage tunes. It never really moves on the dipstick (yes I bought one and highly recommend it) between changes. Bought the car new and have just passed 57,000 miles. I’ve been using pretty much exclusively Mobil 1 European Car Formula 0-40w and Mann filters.

No additives, no gimmicks, no obsessing over whether it is true Group IV or whether that matters.

[S4'ed]

I have two 3.0Ts...none use much oil, maybe 0.25 quart every 3000miles, I always use Mobil-1 0W-40.
One is stage-1 tuned (76,000 miles), the other is stock (23,000 miles).

[arjun90]

Nice, looks like I'll stick with the 0W-40 for the Winter, and in May "may" switch over to Motul's 5W-40 if the need desires. I don't like swapping oils much, lol

[djn876]

Why bother switching? Just wondering as 0w40 temp range is -40c to +40c, 5w40 is -35c to +40c. Seems like a waste to change seasonally. Performance should be more or less the same.

[arjun90]

I may be a little overly sensitive over what I come across different review sites, but I read that the 0W-40 is good at lower temperatures as it offers rapid delivery to crucial areas (especially the timing chain area) whereas at higher temperatures the 0W-40 ends up protecting less and wearing off more of the engine; something to do with the chemical and physical properties of the formula used to make that oil. I know it sounds odd, but even for an older car like my A6 wagon, it wasn't doing well with the "cheaply priced" oil (burning oil more frequently in-spite of replacing PCV valve a few times through warranty). Paying close to $100 for a better grade oil in my experience has given me much better results (rarely burning any oil at all irrespective of driving habits). I know this sounds a bit arbitrary, but this is the perception I got after going through multiple oil brands and types (Mobil 1, Castrol, Motul, and Liqui-Moly, 0W-40 and 5W-40 over the years) on my A6. I know that driving habits also play a role, but oil consumption is typically worse on my wagon when being in stop-and-go traffic. Whereas, highway driving without much traffic yields better results.

This will be my first oil change for the Q5, trying to do it right this time around rather than experimenting with various oil brands (when at end of the day, "they should" meet or exceed OE-specifications).

A 0W-40 and a 5W-40 provide the same viscosity at high temperatures.

[arjun90]

Thanks for confirming that, it may be that critics were just speculating without reason; same viscosity is essentially same thickness at high temperatures, but the 0W-40 provides the added benefit of quickly delivery to critical components at low temperatures.

A 0W-40 and a 5W-40 provide the same viscosity at high temperatures.

[choppstixxx]

I've always used Liqui Moly/Mann filters in both my A4 and now the Q5. In the two oil changes I have done I haven't noticed any huge loss in oil, it always keeps my car running smooth and is to the same standard as OEM Castrol. My biggest gripe is how much oil it takes to feed these beasts, at almost 7qts,
Best thing I did buy was a twist on locking oil funnel, with how the fill hole sits this is a must for DIY oil changes.

Pennzoil platinum ultra 0w40 with mann oem filter i could tell right away how quit start ups are and timing chain start up noise is barely noticeable and a lot quieter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWuKvnCq1js

[pattyt]

I have been using Motul Xcess 5w-40 for the life of the car. I have little to no oil consumption between oil changes at an approx 6,000 mile interval. However, due to the cold climate (Canada) I have been considering dropping to a 0w-40 for the winter months. I am hesitant to change oils considering the Motul has been doing very well. However, I do hear the timing chain start up noise from time to time during cold starts.

Platinum Ultra is not VW 502/503/505 approved. Platinum Euro is. Don’t know if that matters, or if there is much difference. Might matter for a car still in warranty. Joe, the 0w40 is a racing formula, is it not? Most racing oils are intended to reduce friction to an absolute minimum and add a lot of zinc to increase shear protection for “loose” internal clearances (gain a few ponies) but are intended to be changed frequently, as they often lack robust detergent and anti-corrosion additives. Engines running these oils have a lot more internal carbon and sludge build up if the oil is not changed very frequently.

Good for the track, maybe not for a daily driven street car in stop and go traffic?

Pennzoil ultra platinum has some of the best detergent and additives on the market motul and liquid moly dont even come close to the ppm and total detergents and tbn even super tech from walmart is ranked higher and i stick to changing my oil every 5,000 miles

Ok, as long as that is not the one designated as racing oil. It is a much different formulation and definitely lacks the additive package. If you are going to run the Platinum street version, why not go with the Platinum Euro formula? It does have VW certification and the correct additive package.

The test compared dissimilar oils. For example, it did not test Mobile 1 FS, Euro Formula, the one certified as VW 502/503/505 compliant.

It also did not test your 0w40 formulation.

That test does show that Pennzoil Platinum Ultra 5w30 did perform well against certain other specific 5w30 oils. Without looking at the mfg specs on those oils it’s hard to make valid comparisons to see if they are apples to apples.

I would think using any VW 502/503/505 approved oil with scheduled oil changes and use of high quality filter will provide excellent protection for as long as one owns the car.

Shell Rotella 5w40 became the “gold standard” in the Subaru WRX and Mazdaspeed communities and still is for highly modified high boost engines. This is because they run very low AFRs under high boost with direct injection. Those engines blow a lot of particulate matter out the exhausr under full boil. In other words, they benefit from oils with diesel detergent packages. T6 was originally designed for direct injection over the road Diesel engines. I ran it for almost 11 years in my modified ‘08 Mazdaspeed 3.

isn't there a few versions of liquimoli as well? These charts are nice, but I agree with you it is lacking tons of information.

[arjun90]

Based on the consensus, I'll stick with 0W-40 for now; so far the Liqui Moly Synthoil Fully Synthetic is doing extremely well on my A6; anxious to see how good it will be on the Q5, lol

The best way to gauge effectiveness is to do an oil analysis, which I am definitely going to do now on both vehicles

Stubborn? Me? Ha. I am not recommending T6 for our engines. I was responding to someone else. There seems to be a reading comprehension issue.

Explain why VW 502/503/505 is BS. Be specific. Facts, not personal opinion. I’m not saying your posted tests are not accurate, either. I’m saying they tested dissimilar oils and did not test or compare any 0w40 oils and did not test the Mobil 1 oil that is certified for our cars.

The tests were done in 2013, seven years ago. Do they even reflect current formulations?

I am not criticizing Pennzoil Platinum Ultra, either, beyond two simple things: it is not VW 502/503/505 rated, and that the test was for 5w30 oils, not 0w40 oils. Different viscosity oils will test differently and adding viscosity index improvers (expanding from 5w30 to 0w40) changes the properties of the oil.

Answer this question: What oil is in the crankcase of a $960,000 McLaren Senna and recommended by McLaren for refills? Not saying a different oil might not do as well. But, that’s an engine you do not want to have an oil-related failure.

Ultimately, the single most important factor in engine oil is wear protection. Assuming the manufacturer’s viscosity recommendations and detergent additive packages are in place, performance ratings should prioritize wear protection.

The absolute best, independent engineer oil testing and rating system, constantly updated is in this engineering blog. Scroll down a good way to find the wear protection ratings.

That is the Blackstone oil analysis testing. The charts you posted above were from a 2013 test. That included the now discontinued versions of many oils we are currently discussing with new formulations. For instance, the Pennzoil Platinum Ultra tested then was the 5w30 ANSI SM version. It has been replaced by its ANSI SN version, what you are likely running.

The SAE engineer’s oil testing blog is followed by over a half million people, largely from the high performance, racing and engine builder community with a lot of followers who run highly modified engines. He tests every oil the same way on the same equipment. He keeps the data current. He retests when the formulations change on the same oil. He tests different viscosities and often finds significant differences in wear protection in the same oil with different viscosities.

He has no bias, is no one’s fanboy and tests under controlled conditions. No shade tree garage stuff.

If you bother to read it, you will find that the 5w30 current version of your oil was #1 (so much for the “garbage”) but only if a third-party anti-wear additive was included in the testing.

It was #62 otherwise, falling from #20 (ANSI SM) to #62 when reformulated to meet ANSI SN standards.

Reading the labels for reformulation changes really matters. Different formulation changes and different viscosities of the same labeled oil test differently.

For instance, Pennzoil Platinum European tested higher than Ultra (excluding the test where a well-known anti-wear additive was added). Your 0w40 Ultra was not included in either your test data or in the engineer blog, so we really don’t know how it would have done.

FWIW, can you explain factually why VW502/503/505 is BS, as I asked? Can you factually explain why the engineering blog link is garbage? Race teams and engine builders think otherwise.

BTW: McLaren fills the Senna with Mobile 1 FS European Formula 0-40. That oil (without help from additives) ranked #7, and was the highest 0w40 tested.

Lots of biases in these “my oil is best” threads. It’s fun to pin people down for hard facts. Ultimately, get an oil that meets manufacturers specs for your engine and has the highest wear protection rating (above 100,000 psi preferably above 125,000 psi for oil film failure) if you plan to run the car hard. Change oil more frequently and use high quality filters.

The guy in the video only tested two oils in that video and did very limited and questionably relevant tests of his own creation. Did you see/hear his reference to “previous” testing for the other comparison oils? Did he say Blackstone did the tests? Who did and how? How do you know the Blackstone testing in a different link is the data used in the video?

That is not the testing referred to in the video. Don’t you realize this?

Total Detergent/Dispersants
Total Anti-Wear Additives

Where did the data come from for these two charts you posted? That is not in the Blackstone reports you posted. Does the sum total of additives, regardless of nature or ratio to each other, translate in making one oil “better” than another?

FWIW the Bob is the Oil Guy crowd didn’t have a very high regard for the Project Farm guys testing assumptions or relevance to real world conditions.

One more time: Answer my questions please. Still waiting. You are avoiding the questions. Answer why VW502/503/505 certifying is BS and why testing by a true Society of Automotive Engineers member using objective, repeatable and consistent methodology and publishing the resulting data is “garbage”.

Then, I intend to identify data source for the video and the date of the testing.

You’ve made bold claims about BS and garbage regarding the value of industry certification standards being BS and criticizing the careful, controlled work of a highly qualified automotive and mechanical engineer as garbage?

Why? Facts. Tick, tock . . .

That Mobil 1 looks like a great choice. I wish the engineering guy had more recent tests of the typical oils we are using in the 5W40 and 0W40 range, I like his testing. I imagine since he prefers the 5W30 oils he's not going out of his way to test the choices typically used here.

I think you are right. He has a very well designed test. All oil is going to protect well when it is in liquid form (exception I will note in a moment). It’s when it’s in the ultra thin stage under pressure that it fails. That’s when it is squeezed, like during the power stroke of an engine pressing hard on the rod and main bearings, pressing the piston rings out against the cylinder walls and scraping downward, and between the cam lobes and lifters or followers. There are other parts of an engine where this can happen. The oil is micro thin under these conditions and under great pressure. That’s where and when oil fails and wear occurs.

Testing for true failure at high load pressure under actual and extreme engine operating temperatures makes sense.

Here is one exception his testing seems to overlook: Coking of engine oil in turbocharged engines. That’s not applicable to our engine, of course, but the center shaft of a turbo spins at well over 100,000 rpm and it’s bearings are fed by engine oil. The temperature of that shaft rises to as high as 1500 degrees F. Ordinary oils fail, leaving hard baked on carbon deposits. Water cooling can only help so much. Synthetic oils can survive higher temperatures.

I suspect some synthetics would perform differently if he tested high load oil film failure at turbo bearing temps. That might be of interest to the B9 guys and others running turbos.

I admit that I’ve not been an Amsoil guy, but I was impressed with the test performance of their two top oils. The problem I have with Amsoil is that I don’t know if their additive packages would be good enough to provide ANSI SN or VW502/503/505 protection for the full service interval period. To me, that’s where the industry and manufacturer certification has value, because quality over expected service interval is a part of the certification testing.

Yes, the great performance of lighter oils was a bit surprising, but the data is the data. I would suspect that as he keeps testing new oils he will encounter more wide viscosity 0w40 oils and we will see the results if we visit the blog regularly.

He is not just some tinkerer in a garage with jake leg home-made test equipment testing things that may or may not matter, and we can learn only so much from Blackstone testing new or used oil for the quantative presence of certain measured substances.

[joe916]

He has all 16 of the oils he tested on his YouTube video and he sent out all 16 oils to Blackstone for oil analysis you don't need no VW certification just look at Amsoil it's rated as one of the highest oil you can buy and it doesn't have no VW certification
And the chart is a screenshot of his YouTube video results
