Liqui-Moly Race Tech does not have an HTHS of 3.5, their spec sheet only says "above 3.5" and that's the way their brand has chosen to handle marketing. 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.

It looks like (>=) More than or equal to 3.5 HTHS. It's been like this number on their website since at least 2012, you mean to tell no one ever caught the error or choose to update it to 5.7? Regardless, any motor oil company who doesn't publish the data is because they're hiding the result on purpose. My best guess it is around 5.0, similar or below Castrol TWS.
