Default Liqui Moly Oil

Anyone tried it? Any thoughts....seem to be a lot of BMW owners changing to this oil rather than TWS.....

Bring on the oil debate again...

Why bother? We know the TWS is good stuff, why risk using something else?

I know my friend who is a mechanic and runs race cars has started using TWS in an Integra race car, he says it's really good oil.

The castrol stuff is cheaper than that.

Well...have seen a lot of people converting to the Liqui Moly....it seems that it produces lower oil temps on track and also takes a shorter time for oil temps to cool on the run down lap....

I am not saying TWS is not good or the best am just saying that there may be something better out there now as this oil was designed for this car 10 years + ago....

Fair point, if that was true I can see the logic but is it actually better or just pub talk? Hard to know I guess

Google it...check out the reviews...I know a lot of guys in Germany are starting to use it...

I find it funny that we all try to upgrade lots of things on our cars because the part that BMW used is not god enough...ie brakes, suspension, brake fluid, gearbox oil, etc etc

But when it comes to the oil they chose apparently BMW got it right??...
