Description

Liqui Moly Top Tec 6100 0W-30 is a synthetic Top Tec oil for BMW petrol and diesel engines. Given its reduced high-temperature viscosity, it is used only where BMW Longlife-12 FE is specified; low ash protects the particulate filter.

It carries API SP and ACEA C2 and holds official BMW Longlife-12 FE, MB 229.61 and DTFR 15D100 approvals, meeting MB 227.61 and Ford WSS-M2C957-A1 without formal approval. It also matches genuine oils BMW 83 21 2 365 935, BMW 83 21 2 405 097 and BMW 83 21 2 405 666.

Typical figures: viscosity 9.5 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 190, HTHS at least 2.9 mPa·s, pour point -42 °C. Pack sizes from 1 to 205 litres.

Application

BMW petrol and diesel engines specified for BMW Longlife-12 FE; because of its reduced high-temperature viscosity, the oil is used only where this standard is listed.

Worth knowing

In this data sheet DTFR 15D100 and MB 227.61 appear as two different codes with different status: the first among specifications and approvals, the second among recommendations. According to the Daimler Truck correspondence table they are one specification: the earlier number 227.61 was renamed DTFR 15D100. So for Daimler Truck the oil does hold the approval, just recorded under the new name. Because of the low HTHS, the data sheet limits use to approved BMW engines, even though MB 229.61 is also among the specifications, so for Mercedes-Benz take the number from the service documentation.

The almost identical-looking MB 229.6 belongs to another oil, Special Tec B FE 0W-30. It is also 0W-30, but ACEA A5/B5 with 1 % sulphated ash against up to 0.8 % here, and for BMW it has Longlife-01 FE. There is no other Liqui Moly oil with BMW Longlife-12 FE in the catalogue, and the article on what oil to put in a BMW explains that each such approval is allowed only for certain engines. The three BMW numbers beginning with 83 21 2 are original part numbers: Liqui Moly only recommends the oil for them, and the official entry remains Longlife-12 FE.
