Lubro Moly?

[MikeM]

Hi...does anyone use Lubro Moly in their engines?
This is the oil my mechanic recommends. I understand tha Jake Raby is now advising something other than Mobil 1, but I'm not sure now what to use!!
Hey, the way I figure it, if Jake says something about these motors, I'm going to listen.
Cheers

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.

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.

Thanks!
BUT I'll never recommend any oils in public!

Doing so is like a self inflicted wound to me and my program. Sorry, if the repercussions of doing this weren't so high I'd certainly share it with you guys.

[MikeM]

Jake...understood.
Let me put it this way...

Is Lubro Moly a good choice for my Boxster?

Cheers

OK, so if I read you correctly, you won't recommend the 'proper' oil for fear that it will lead to fewer people needing your parts and services.

Does that mean that some oils can/do reduce or eliminate the possibility of IMS failure?
