Description

Liqui Moly Super Low Friction Motor Oil MoS2 15W-50 is a mineral engine oil with the solid lubricant molybdenum disulphide (MoS2). It is intended for petrol, diesel and turbocharged engines, including extended drain intervals and severe operating conditions.

It holds no official approvals; the manufacturer gives recommendations only, to ACEA A3/B4 and API SL/CF.

Typical figures: viscosity index 155, HTHS at least 3.5 mPa·s, base number 10.4, NOACK 9 %, sulphated ash 1.0-1.6 %, pour point -33 °C. Pack sizes 1 and 4 litres.

Application

Petrol, diesel and turbocharged engines, including extended drain intervals and severe operating conditions.

Worth knowing

There are no viscosities at 40 and 100 °C on this oil’s page: the figures 140 mm²/s and 19.2 mm²/s appear in the data sheet on lines headed “Base oil viscosity”, so formally they describe the base oil, not the finished product. In the data sheets of the four other oils in the MoS2 range these lines are simply called “Viscosity at 40 °C” and “Viscosity at 100 °C”. Liqui Moly also gives the oil’s name in two forms: Super Low Friction Motor Oil MoS2 in the data sheet heading, MoS2 Low-Friction Super Motor Oil in the description.

Molygen 15W-50, the only other 15W-50 from the brand in the catalogue, matches this one only on ACEA A3. Here the codes continue with ACEA B4, API SL and CF; there they are ACEA B3, API SJ and statements of conformity to MB 229.1, VW 501.01 and VW 505.00. The pour point is -33 °C against -24 °C, Noack 9 % against 12 %. The data sheet pairs a mineral base with long change intervals, and the article “Synthetic or mineral?” reminds the reader that the interval is chosen with the origin of the base oil in mind.
