I am sold - Run it in my 911 3,2 - Should have done it years ago! Runs smother, less oil burn. Had my 911 for over 10 years and know it well. All around great product. They make great motor oil to go with it.
I use it in all my cars. Quiet’s down my wife’s noisy Honda Pilot engine and it even increases the MPG in my vw gti. Lawn mower and snow blower love it too!
youve been dropping alot of extremely helpful e9x / bmw content lately bro, like alot of questions ive been having and things people havent been adressing, thanks bro keep it up fr!
Could have just bought the car. Could be time to renew the additive? It does wear off after so long, just like everything else. Most additives have a milage range to add more. Thats why you switch between ine and another during oil changes since you shouldn't mix them
Not surprised the after sounds better, as the car has fully warmed up. Not knocking LiquiMoly products. However, none of it’s an instant miracle in a can. The effect is cumulative and gradual through appropriate use over time.
I'm not trying to discredit your video or anything but... the effects of the engine running more smoothly and silently could easily be credited to the fresh new oil you put into it and that it was just time for an Oil change. To 100% say the additive works you would have to have 3 clips (before, new oil and new oil with the lm additive). Just my 2 cents.
the sound clips were both after the fresh new oil change. I changed the oil, took the 'before' soundbite, then poured the LiquiMoly and only a tad bit of oil to wash the LiquiMoly down. I did not conduct an entire oil change before pouring in the LiquiMoly.
Probably should have mentioned this in the video or description. You also mentioned that you have been using this product for years. Pretty amazing how different your engine sounds before and after the additive after all this time. You would think/hope this stuff would accumulate and offer a bit of residual protection but it seems it all comes out every oil change. Good video otherwise. I would use this on a new(er) engine but skip it on older high mileage ones.
People are so picky. Adding new oil doesn't do that much if not make it worse. Even if this isn't a new car for him, the additive isn't permanent and needs to be readded every change or whenever the noise gets bad. Come on ppl
IzzyE9X: Great video. I do use LiquiMoly MoS2 on my E92 M3, but not every oil change. When I do use it, I use the whole bottle with LiquiMoly 10W60. Question, do you use it every oil change???
My accord hybrid holds 3.8L of oil so should I add this top of 3.8L of engine oil or should I put in 3.5L of engine oil and fill the rest of the capacity with this?
Adding moly disulfide is a useless waste of money at best and dangerous to your engine at worst. This is basically a solid lubricant suspended in a heavy oil...almost like you're dropping a spoonful of axle grease into your oil pan. It's most likely to collect at the bottom of the oil pan and/or your oil filter. Worst case, it clogs up your lifters and/or VANOS solenoids (or any other engine's cam phasers). I'm a metallurgical engineer at a major automobile manufacturer and a big part of my work is wear and failure analysis on gasoline engines. We work closely with lubricating oil manufacturers to specify exactly what should be included in engine oil and then the engines are designed to operate with that type of oil. If a big glob of super high viscosity oil packed with moly disulfide made engines last longer and run quieter, we'd write the specifications for the oil manufacturers to blend it in. It would help us meet our engineering targets and make our lives easier. It's not blended into the oil because it doesn't help.
Hi Elektro. I'm glad to be reading some actual science from a metallurgical engineer in this thread. In view of both your academic and professional knowledge, I will accept your advice to not install LiquiMoly MoS2. I'd be very grateful to receive your further advice: Five years ago, I bought a 2003 BMW E46 318i running an N42 engine with 105,000 miles on the clock. I bought her for only £725 = $915. During these five years, I've only driven her a total of 10,000 miles. I admit that I've not done any work on her engine, and the oil is black. I now finally have the time, the money, and the inclination to look after her, which is what's brought me to this thread. For a 2003 N42 engine, BMW recommends a 5W-30 oil which complies with the BMW LL-01 (LongLife-01) specification. However, because she's got 115,000 miles, and no oil change during AT LEAST the last 10,000 miles, should I instead be installing 5W-40? At the same time, because E46 UA-camrs rave about them, I'm intending to install a Hengst oil filter, as opposed to a BMW OEM, Mann, Mehle, or any other filter. Do you approve of Hengst? Simultaneously, I'm going to be changing the spark plugs. I've been reading that more important than the brand is that I should be installing plugs which are double platinum or, even better, triple platinum. Or, even better, iridium plugs. Do you agree that NGK iridium plugs are the best way forwards? The garage which will be doing all those jobs is recommending that because the engine has not been maintained for AT LEAST 10,000 miles, it should be flushed before the new oil, new oil filter, and and plugs. I certainly accept your advice about Mos2. Would you recommend a standard LiquiMoly flush for this 20 year-old engine with 115,000 on the clock? Many thanks. Best, Michael
100% agree. Using Mos2 on my 400cc Dominar and Kawasaki Z900, works like charm. When my friends ride my bikes who have same bikes immediately say, why your bike is smooth and responsive ❤. Giving this input after using this from past 5 years on Dominar 400 and 3 years in Z900
There is a recommendation to the amount of MoS2 it’s 5% of your total amount of oil needed. So if you need to put in 5 Litres that equals 250ml. So you can easily add more to your next oil change. 2:57
Oil, is an extremely good lubricant, wear reduction, low friction etc. Unless there are issues with your car stop putting additives to it. Use thicker oil if you want it quieter
Thicker oil makes it louder. I have a 2005 Hyundai accent 5w-20 motor oil. The Walmart guys accidentally poured 5w-30 in my motor. My car was running loud and burned a lot of fuel. A thinner oil makes the car run smoother and saves gas. Why do you think liquid molly increase mpg? Because it makes the car run smoother and less friction
Right , you should have changed the oil first and then do sound test Also, mos2 should be added. In older cars 2000s and lower On newer cars you should use ceratec
MoS2 was used in plane engines as a back up measure should the engine lose its oil. This gave the engine enough lubricity to assist the aircraft to land.
Change oil and oil filter every 4000 miles or 6 months. Every one or two years change engine air filter, fuel filter and cabin filter. Every 30000 miles change the sparkplugs. Put the best gas you can afford. Do not red line the engine when it is cold. Eventually, drive the car on the highway for 2 or 3 hours. Wash it once a month...
Please tell me where i can get the msport fender liners. I cant find them at all. I threw on the M sport front end and the liners dont match at all, so please let me know
69k miles is a good start for MiS2. Don't wait for more miles to start on it as I might be too late after getting too high a wear in your engine parts. I am soon getting a can or two!.

Can this prevent timing chain failure that can happen on the BMW E90 models?

I'm glad to hear it's been helping you! If you ever have any video ideas that will help the community, I'm always open to input
I don’t have a BMW (2019 Ford Fusion 1.5L EcoBoost) but I alternate between running MoS2 and Ceretec after every oil change.
Wise. Move. It's Great. Stuff 🎉🎉🎉
If you have been using LM for years, why was the engine so loud to begin with?
Because N52s are known to have lifter tick. Not to mention, the injectors on these engines are very loud.
Could have just bought the car. Could be time to renew the additive? It does wear off after so long, just like everything else. Most additives have a milage range to add more. Thats why you switch between ine and another during oil changes since you shouldn't mix them

That’s inaccurate, oil change tend to renew oil which result in a less viscous oil and often new noises are exacerbated after an oil change.

I personally use it every oil change, but only use about 1/3 to 1/2 of the bottle
Great STUFF🎉🎉
I think this would be good in the m3 with the rod bearing issue with liqui moly oil I feel liqui moly makes some of the better engine oil
My accord hybrid holds 3.8L of oil so should I add this top of 3.8L of engine oil or should I put in 3.5L of engine oil and fill the rest of the capacity with this?
Seems like a no brainer. Whats the capacity? 3.8 or 4.1?
Put in the 3.5L first

Hell yeah.. I was looking for such a real life review. I'm gonna use it in my RC 200 too
Does this leave any residual within the motor?
There is a recommendation to the amount of MoS2 it’s 5% of your total amount of oil needed. So if you need to put in 5 Litres that equals 250ml. So you can easily add more to your next oil change. 2:57

Just buying quality engine oil solves the problem normally. But using additives have play role too depending on which one you buy
@ismaeel624 this is a very reasonable comment
Say I can get the powder MOs2 ,
What method can I use to add this to an engine oil change?
Maybe put in better quality oil, instead of an additive pack?
Is it better than Ceratec?
Ceratex is the better, but more expensive option
@@LoveableRogue Ok, but why is it better?
@@LoveableRoguehow is it better?
Right , you should have changed the oil first and then do sound test

MoS2 was used in aircraft engines in WW1 and I suspect also WW2.
I have a BMW to its n52 and also have N55 but that's the only have the implied to BMW or can we put on Japanese cars too?
this product states on the back “for all 4-stroke gasoline or diesel engines, with or without turbos” so I think you’ll be safe even in a Japanese car

It’s not the same
It is totally different

Why somebody who said this doesn't work??????
Liqui Moly recommends this for high mileage cars and classic cars so I don't think I'll use it while my cars only on 69,000 Miles
69k miles is a good start for MiS2. Don't wait for more miles to start on it as I might be too late after getting too high a wear in your engine parts. I am soon getting a can or two!.
Ceratec is better for newer engines though. 🤔
Will this work on a 2006 BMW 318i?
Yes
Please man
Put motul 0w40 x-max in that engine
It is day and night difference between motul and castrol
I had bmw 1 serie with n42 engine
Oil consumption went from 1 liter/1000 km to 1 liter to 10.000 km without using any aditive
I had bmw z4 with m54 engine
With motul straight away you feel the difference
Now I have an Audi TDI that requires dpf oil but I’m changing to 0w40 even if it doesn’t have dpf approval
Of course I use mos2
I use always mos2
My engine sounds healthy and I cannot hear any difference but I use it for extra protection
300 ml of mos2 treats 5 liters of oil
In that engine you need 400 ml
Half bottle it is not enough
There is no ceramic in that product.
Because of your hair cut I won't neither see this video nor use mos2
Nothing help.
Zx1 is better
snake oil
Lmao I poured the whole bottle
