Lubro Moly?

[kabel]

googled Lubro Moly it and found many re-sellers, seems to be popular with Merc and BMW owners. I know a couple of guys that swear by Swepco brand oil.

Ived used Lubro Moly oil on my MB, & Porsche. It is one of the best oil available out there.

Motor Oil is like ice-cream at Baskin-Robbins... everyone has their favorite 'flavor'.

And, you can make a reasonable arguement both for and against almost every major brand synthetic out there.

But, if you keep the level up, change between 7.5k and 10kmi., I doubt any of these cars will suffer an oil brand related issue until long after 200k mi...

After that many miles, does it really matter what broke it?

I use Lubro-moly products and I like them. But, I also use MB1, Motul (the world's 1st full synthetic - 1948), Elf.

I used Liqui-Moly 10-60 race oil. It was amazing stuff. But I heard that it recently got discontinued. In my 944 the oil would stay cleaner longer, more pressure than mobil1 and still flowed well at cold temps.

I have Royal Purple in the Box right now. But I put lubro-moly in my girlfriends VW because it is one of the few VW certified oils that I could get on a sat morning and it wasn't any more than M1.

My fav is Red Line full synthetic group 5 basestock.

Good stuff but expensive.

I ran lubro-moly in my two different MB 300 turbo diesels for years. It was what my indie mech. recommended. My '85 300D had nearly 300k on it when I sold it. I don't know?? I ran Castrol in my BMW Z3's and the Z4. Now I have this Boxster S. I'm thinking about running Castrol syntec in it. What do you guys think???

You mean Lubro Moly 10w-60, not Liqui-Moly right?

Not so, it's listed in Bavarian Auto's current catalogue as a 'new' item.

This weekend I switched from Mobil 1 to Red Line and have noticed a significant difference in performance in my boxster. I thought about Royal Purple too, but it seemed more people swore by Red Line. I will definitely be using Red Line on the next change. BTW, I used the 5W40.

Nope I do mean Liqui-moly. Same company, but I think its designed for European sales. I don't have any of the old bottles laying around. But here is a link to a site that has it. I'm sure people are selling off stock. And what I heard could be a rumor, but it has always been hard to find. I was getting it for $42 for 5liters at one point.
