Description
Liqui Moly Special Tec AA 0W-8 is an ultra-low-viscosity engine oil intended mainly for Toyota and Mazda hybrid passenger cars, including those on extended service intervals.
The oil carries JASO GLV-1. It holds no official approvals; according to the manufacturer, it meets the requirements of Toyota 08880-84112 and Toyota 08880-84113, and it is also recommended where Mazda specifies an oil of this viscosity.
Typical figures: 5.2 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 140, HTHS at least 1.7 mPa·s, NOACK 13.5 %, pour point -42 °C. Pack sizes from 1 to 205 litres.
It should only be used where the carmaker explicitly requires this exact class and viscosity.
Application
Mainly hybrid passenger cars (Toyota, Mazda) whose manufacturer specifies a 0W-8 oil to JASO GLV-1, including those on extended service intervals.
Worth knowing
The HTHS minimum in the data sheet, 1.7 mPa·s, matches the lower limit of SAE grade 8 given in the update to the SAE J300 viscosity value table; for SAE 16 that limit is 2.3 mPa·s. JASO GLV-1 exists only for 0W-12 and 0W-8. There are no API, ILSAC or ACEA classes in the list.
Toyota 08880-84112 and Toyota 08880-84113 appear in the data sheet line covering “specifications or original part numbers”, together with the make Mazda, which has no number. In Special Tec AA 0W-16 and AA 0W-20 these numbers are absent: those have API SQ with ILSAC GF-7B or GF-7A, 7.2 and 8.5 mm²/s at 100 °C instead of 5.2, and NOACK 12.5 % instead of 13.5 %. The brand has no other 0W-8 in the catalogue; moving to the neighbouring viscosity in the line is possible only where the carmaker itself permits that range.
