Description

Liqui Moly Camping Top-up Oil 5W-30 is a synthetic mid-SAPS oil in a one-litre pack for topping up on the road in motorhomes, campervans and passenger cars with petrol or diesel engines, including those with a particulate filter. It can be mixed with other engine oils.

Classes: ACEA C2 and C3, API SQ. It holds no official approvals; according to the manufacturer, it meets the requirements of BMW Longlife-04, MB 229.31, MB 229.51, MB 229.52, VW 505.00, VW 505.01, GM dexos2, Ford WSS-M2C917-A, Fiat 9.55535-S1 and 9.55535-S3, and Opel OV0401547-D30 and OV0401547-G30.

Typical figures: 12.2 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 170, HTHS at least 3.5 mPa·s, pour point -39 °C, sulphated ash at most 0.8 %.

Application

Motorhomes, campervans and passenger cars with petrol and diesel engines, including those with a particulate filter, when oil needs topping up on the road.

Worth knowing

The data sheet has no “Specifications / Approvals” block: all the codes, even ACEA C2, ACEA C3 and API SQ, sit under a phrase saying that Liqui Moly recommends the product for vehicles with such requirements. The list contains no claim of a carmaker approval. That is how the camping version differs from Top-up Oil 5W-30: the figures are identical, including 12.2 mm²/s at 100 °C and NOACK 9.0 %, but that oil has such a block, and it lists BMW Longlife-04, MB 229.31, MB 229.51 and MB 229.52.

For a motorhome on a Fiat chassis, the only codes of that make in the list are Fiat 9.55535-S1 and Fiat 9.55535-S3. According to the table of Fiat codes, the first is described for 1.3, 1.6 and 2.0 Multijet diesels, the second for 2.2, 2.8 and 3.0 Multijet and CRD. For newer Euro 6 diesels the table assigns DS1 with 0W-30 viscosity, and there is no such code here. The data sheet itself designates the oil for topping up when the level is low and leaves the final say to the vehicle manufacturer’s requirements.
