Liquid moly engine temp

Bl0ck · 12-02-2017, 12:42 PM

Does Liqui moly run hotter than the Castrol? It's so much easier to buy 2 5L bottles than 9 1L from Castrol.... But my car is running about 10 degrees hotter. Car runs perfect so I would assume it's ok.

Liquimoly runs cooler, it is thicker so it is good for warmer temperatures/climate.

i'm running it, and it has similar properties to the oem castrol 10/60. i tried shell helix ultra 10/60 and the car ran a little warmer.

To me it seems louder and while it gets to temp quicker it also runs a higher temp when pushing it.

I've ran LM for the past 3 years. Switched from Castrol. It does run a few degrees hotter. Nothing I'd be worried about, though.
