Review on Synthetic engine oil LIQUI MOLY Special Tec AA 5W-30, 4 l, 3.8 kg, 1 pc by Jnis Muinieks ᠌

The oil is suitable for; Honda; Hyundai; Kia; Mazda; Nissan; Toyota Motor Corporation; Subaru. 1) Viscosity is really 5W-30. 2) The viscosity index is not high, there should not be much polymer thickener. 3) A high base number characterizes the ability of the oil to neutralize the resulting acids for a long time - 8.97 mgKOH. good detergent neutralizing properties. 4) Sulfate ash 0.90% - normal, the oil is safe for modern Japanese and Korean cars, including those with direct injection GDI and turbo GDI. 5) High flash 239С - it is excellent for hydrocracking. The oil is thermally stable at high temperatures. 6) NOACK volatility = 8.4% - good, especially considering that this is hydrocracking. Typically, hydrocracked oils of this standard have 9-10%. This indirectly speaks of good quality bases and the predominance of high-viscosity VHVI-6. All this gives good thermal stability characteristics, but worsens low-temperature properties. 7) What we saw in the pour point -38C. She is not outstanding. However, you can safely start the engine down to -30C. And more is not needed. But the oil will burn less and behave thermostable. 8) Sulfur content = 0.239% - norm. The additive package is not old, there is no simple mineral water in the composition. 9) The additive package is not simple, improved by Afton Hitec. It has organic molybdenum for reduced friction and economy. Titanium - antioxidant, modifier, antiwear. Phosphorus and zinc are the main anti-wear additive. A lot of boron is a dispersant that holds particles of contaminants in suspension. Magnesium + calcium - protects against LSPI detonation and provides the oil with antioxidant and neutralizing properties. The Fourier IR spectrum indicates that the hydrocracked oil is VHVI. Conclusion: Technically interesting product, contains molybdenum, titanium, magnesium + calcium. Excellent thermal stability at high temperatures. High flash and low NOACK. In general, Liqui Moly make good and quality products.
