Liquid Molly Mulligan 5w40

Earlier, I already wrote about the German company LIQUI MOLY and its Liqui Moli Moligen 5w30 products, which received only positive feedback.

The company is developing dynamically and leads the German market, receiving the title of "Best brand in the category of lubricants" for eight years in a row.

Today we will talk about the new product - Molygen New Generation 5W-40 engine oil. The lubricant was developed based on the HC synthetic technology used for a long time, but with a new meaning.

Features Molligen 5w40

Liquid Moli decided to add more viscous oils to his line and announced a new all-weather product New Generation 5W-40.

A somewhat risky step, because everyone knows that the thicker the oil, the higher the fuel consumption, and cold start problems make themselves felt at high sub-zero temperatures.

So what has the company done to combat these negative phenomena? Let's take a closer look at the technical characteristics of the product.

From the given data, it can be seen that the products fully comply with the ACEA A3, B4, API SN / CF standards. And on the container label there are manufacturer approvals, such as: BMW Longlife-01, MB-Freigabe 229.5, Porsche A40, Renault RN 0700, VW 502 00 and 505 00.

And this speaks of reliability, proven by laboratory and factory tests, smooth running. On the basis of technical indicators, we will consider what properties the product acquires and why it was called Nueva Generación (new generation).

Lubricant Properties

The properties of lubricants depend on many indicators. By adding some additives and improving some qualities, you inevitably worsen other properties of the product.

The task of engineers is precisely to minimize the shortcomings and get a balanced product, highlighting the most important positive properties.

After changing the oil, the engine noise has noticeably decreased.

Over the past 10-15 years, the automotive industry has made a huge step forward, new engines and gas neutralization systems have appeared. Engineers are looking to increase engine life by making it cheaper by reducing weight and replacing traditional materials with composites.

And this means higher requirements for lubricants. The production of forced internal combustion engines increased the load on the engine, which had to be compensated with something, so the Molecular Friction Control technology was born - a technology for controlling molecular friction.

Video that briefly and visually discusses the properties of Moligen oils

Its main advantage is molybdenum-tungsten anti-friction additive. Facilitates cold start by creating a layer of molybdenum molecules and alloyed tungsten steel on the surface of the cylinders.

The additive reduces friction to a minimum and allows the engine to run for some time without primary lubrication while cold oil is pumped from the sump into the system. It was the development of a new formula that allowed Liquid Moli Moligen 5w40 engine oil to stand out from the competition.

Consider the most striking properties of the product:

1. The product has a package of antifriction additives MFC. This package contains molybdenum and tungsten, which significantly reduces friction in the engine and thus achieves fuel savings of up to 3,5%.
2. The wear of the engine is reduced, due to which its resource is increased.
3. From the performance table, it can be seen that the base number is greater than eleven, which means a longer replacement interval. Since alkali is a neutralizer of acids that form in the combustion chamber.
4. The pack has excellent detergent properties. This is evidenced by the high content of calcium in the lubricant. If you observe the replacement interval, then you can not worry about engine coking.
5. In frost -30, the car will not experience oil starvation, since the volumetric viscosity (CCS) does not exceed 6600 mPas, thanks to the use of MFC additives. 
6. A low sulfur content indicates product purity, low ash content and compliance with Euro 4 and 5 standards. Since sulfur is already present in gasoline, its minimal presence in the oil compensates for the poor quality of the fuel.
7. The presence of alloy steel additives allows the use of leaded gasoline without consequences for the engine. Since they reliably protect the internal combustion engine cylinders from overheating and stress.
8. A high flash point (234°C) indicates that the oil is resistant to high temperatures and, as a result, indicates a low degree of combustion. Reducing the cost of topping up oil.

Recommendations for using Liquid Moli Moligen 5w40

Many people think that Liquid Moli Moligen 5w40 oil is synthetic, but this is not entirely true. HC synthesis is the hydrocracking of mineral oil using the latest additives.

And synthetics are synthetics, and the new generation moligen 5w40 is not inferior in performance and even surpasses it, since the production of synthetic oils is more expensive, and the physico-chemical properties of Liquid Moli 5w40 Moligen show excellent results.

The use of new technologies in the creation of lubricants allowed the manufacturer to present the following requirements for use:

1. First of all, this product is recommended for vehicles operating in extreme conditions, such as heavy traffic in the city with traffic jams, frequent starts and low mileage. Especially in winter, when the sprint turns into a cold start.
2. The increase in viscosity towards 5W-40 has given an additional advantage to the use of Liquid Moly Moligen in engines with mileage over 100 km. This will significantly extend its service life.
3. Allows the use of this lubricant in new generation Asian and American manufacturers focused on energy efficiency and compliance with ILSAC GF-4, GF-5 standards

Please note that the manufacturer does not recommend mixing this product with standard engine oils.

Liquid Moli 5w40 reviews about Moligen

Surprisingly, unlike other manufacturers of lubricants, it is difficult to find negative reviews for the new generation line of liqui moly molygen, although they are neutral, something like: filled in, but did not feel much improvement.
