Description

Liqui Moly Molygen New Generation 10W-30 is an engine oil for petrol car engines, containing the Molygen additive, which the manufacturer says reduces friction.

It carries API SQ and ILSAC GF-7A. It holds no official approvals; the manufacturer states that it meets the requirements of GM 6094M, Chrysler MS-6395 and Fiat 9.55535-CR1, and the recommendations of Daihatsu, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Isuzu, Kia, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki and Toyota.

Typical data-sheet figures: viscosity 10.5 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 140, HTHS at least 2.9 mPa·s, pour point -36 °C, sulphated ash 0.85 %. Pack sizes from 1 to 205 litres.

Application

Petrol engines in Asian and American cars, including multi-valve and turbocharged units, in markets and models that specify a 10W-30 grade and API SQ or ILSAC GF-7A.

Worth knowing

At 100 °C this oil is almost identical to Molygen New Generation 5W-30 of the same line: 10.5 mm²/s against 10.9. They part company in the cold and in the code list. The 10W grade in SAE J300 allows a cranking viscosity of up to 7,000 mPa·s at -25 °C, while a 5W must already stay within 6,600 mPa·s at -30 °C; the pour point here is -36 °C, against -42 °C for the 5W-30. GM dexos1 Gen 3 and Ford WSS-M2C codes are missing from the 10W-30: the data sheet names Ford only as a brand without a specification number, and the only GM entry is GM 6094M.

API SQ, ILSAC GF-7A, Chrysler MS-6395, Fiat 9.55535-CR1 and GM 6094M are claimed for Special Tec AA 10W-30 Benzin, with the same 10.5 mm²/s. The diesel version under almost the same name, Special Tec AA 10W-30 Diesel, has the heavy-duty classes ACEA E7, E9, E11 and API CK-4 and no petrol API or ILSAC class. If your manual says GF-5 or GF-6A, the article on API SQ and ILSAC GF-7 tells you what to buy and what the GF-7A starburst confirms for xW-30 grades.
