I used to manage a shop and sold many brands of oil including LM, brought it up to their US sales department that they may want to list more relevant HTHS numbers because oil samples I sent in for analysis indicated that it had a competitively high HTHS in reality (it was something like 5.6 or 5.7 if I remember). LM headquarters decided not to update how they advertise their oil so they stick with "above 3.5".

Liqui-Moly is not the best option in my opinion but wanted to clarify this since it's a common misconception about their product.
Do you happen to have a copy of that oil analysis report?
