If you were asked to name a brand of engine oil, several brands might appear in your mind. Castrol, Mobil 1, Valvoline, etc. One thing in common among these brands is the ability to find them wherever they go. The convenience is undeniable, and because you have used them for years, you have no reason to use anything else.
On the other hand, what would happen if there was something better than those brands that really isn't much more expensive? A product that gave you that extra peace of mind? Sometimes it is worth looking for a little more for a better product. See more: Liqui Moly
Who is LIQUI MOLY?
LIQUI MOLY may be a relatively unknown brand in North America, but the German company has been present since 1957 and to date, it still manufactures all its products there. Its first product, the MoS2 oil additive, contained the solid molybdenum disulfide lubricant, which allowed the engines to run for a short period of time without oil, which was perfect for emergency situations.
What is molybdenum disulfide?
Molybdenum disulfide in its natural form is similar in touch to graphite, the same slippery material found at the tip of the pencil. MoS2 (the chemical composition), when friction is tested, has a coefficient value of <0.1. By way of comparison, Teflon over Teflon has a coefficient of 0.04, while steel over steel has a coefficient of 0.57. Alternative uses of MoS2 include gun lubrication and CV joints. And when we talk about engine friction, lowering is ALWAYS better.
Keep in mind that today's contemporary engines are designed and manufactured with tolerances so high that choosing the wrong oil viscosity can be legitimately detrimental to an engine. As visual, imagine a pump designed to move water from one place to another. Now, imagine that the same bomb tries to move the honey, it just won't work, and that bomb will die very quickly. Modern engines that are specified with lower weight oils (0W20) may have higher wear situations if a heavier oil (10W30) is used.
LIQUI MOLY, which still contains molybdenum disulfide as its first product, has been formulated as a motor oil almost "for everything." It has a good cold-start behavior, as well as improved wear characteristics for modern engines.
LIQUI MOLY MoS2 is also recommended for old Porsches with air-cooled engines. Additional additives are very effective in reducing wear in very hot situations, another difficulty for oil manufacturers. High heat = lower oil viscosity and, in extreme cases, less lubrication. The MoS2 additive covers all mobile components with a low friction surface to mitigate any problems that may arise with the oil. When it comes to cars and engines 40 to 50 years old, why not use the best?
LIQUI MOLY in motorsports
In general, careers are an excellent place to advertise your products, not only for advertising but also for the worst conditions in the real world. Since 2015, LIQUI MOLY has been the sole lubricant supplier for all Moto2 and Moto3 racing teams. And they don't just admit motorcycle racing; Have you seen Formula 1 recently? We even use their oil in our VW GTI TCR in TC America. The fact that LIQUI MOLY is compatible with these racing series shows that they are willing to support a good product. Without proof of how good your products are, what is the point?
