Description

Liqui Moly Synthoil Longtime Plus 0W-30 is a fully synthetic oil from the Synthoil range for Volkswagen Group cars. It is intended for petrol and diesel engines, including those with unit injectors, that are serviced on the extended Longlife interval.

It is classified ACEA A5/B5 and holds official VW 506.01 approval; it meets the requirements of VW 503.00 and VW 506.00 without formal approval.

Typical figures: viscosity 9.6 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 169, HTHS at least 2.9 mPa·s, as expected of the fuel-economy A5/B5 class, and pour point -42 °C. Sulphated ash reaches 1.6 %, so this is not a low-SAPS oil. Available in 1 and 5 litre packs.

Application

Audi, VW, Seat and Škoda petrol and diesel engines, including unit-injector diesels, serviced on the extended (Longlife) interval and requiring VW 506.01 or one of the group's earlier Longlife specifications.

Worth knowing

Liqui Moly’s data sheet is blunt: the oil is not backward compatible and must never go into engines without WIV extended service. The same document says it was developed for VW engines from model year 2000. The restrictions by code are in the overview of VAG approvals: VW 503.00 and VW 506.00 are forbidden for cars built before May 1999, because the reduced high-temperature viscosity can damage the engine. So a 0W-30 match is not enough: the car must follow WIV (Longlife) service.

Synthoil Longtime 0W-30 without Plus is ACEA A3/B4 with different VW codes, so neither replaces the other. Among Liqui Moly oils in the catalogue, the official VW 506.01 is only here; Top Tec 4200 5W-30 New Generation has all three of this oil’s VW codes as “meets” and a different viscosity. The same overview mentions moving extended-interval cars to the VW 504.00 and VW 507.00 pair and, for certain pump-injector engines, refers you to the service book. Among the brand’s 0W-30 oils, Top Tec 4210 officially holds that pair, but it is ACEA C3 with HTHS from 3.5 mPa·s, so it is no substitute without a service-book entry.
