Liqui Moly Special Tec LL engine oil is used in power units in which the lubricant must comply with the ACEA A3 / B3 standard. Made on a mineral base obtained using HC technology. Differs in low viscosity, low sulfur content and high - sulphated ash. In the finished product, such a "base" provides good fluidity at low temperatures, resistance to oxidation and foaming when heated, as well as the ability to form a shear-resistant oil film.
The lubricant is designed for use in engines with extended service intervals. This feature is ensured by the absence of impurities in the base oil and special calcium-containing additives. They give the finished product an excellent detergency, thanks to which the engine parts are effectively cleaned of thermal deposits.
Key features of Liqui Moly Special Tec LL oil:
- designed for use with extended maintenance intervals;- excellent lubricity at low temperatures;
- high shear stability of the oil film;
- resistant to thermal oxidation and foaming;
- effectively cleans from dirt.
Description of the ruler
Special oils- oils for modern engines, where special requirements are imposed on the characteristics of engine oil from the side of car manufacturers. At the same time, the engines of the latest generations of cars have maintenance features, for example, extended intervals, electronic monitoring of maintenance times, etc., which imposes additional requirements on the properties and composition of engine oils.
Liquid Moli special oils are divided into two groups: Special Tec - oils without environmental restrictions and Top Tec - oils compatible with multi-component exhaust gas converters (exhaust gases) and diesel particulate filters (DPF). The assortment of special oils Liquid Moli allows you to select a product for 99% of cars produced today. Liquid Moli special oils are the choice of car owners who entrust car service to official dealerships, where strict adherence to the recommendations of car manufacturers for the operation and maintenance of the car is required.
Special Tec- group represented by oils for cars Asian-American(AA series) and European markets: Ford(F, ECO F), GM(Opel), Volvo and Volkswagen.
Special Tec motor oils have special approvals from car manufacturers required for successful use of these oils during the warranty period of a car's operation, and also have the latest international API / ACEA / ILSAC classifications.
Oils for Ford are represented by two products: ECO F - produced specifically for the latest EcoBoost engines and F - for passenger cars of previous generations, as well as light commercial vehicles with gasoline and diesel engines.
Special Tec LL is intended for all European and Korean GM vehicles, especially Opel vehicles manufactured prior to 2010 or later that were not fitted with particulate filters. In addition, Special Tec LL has the nominal approvals of Mercedes Benz, BMW and Volkswagen, and due to its fairly high alkalinity, this engine oil has the highest detergent properties. The use of this oil applies to a wide range of vehicles operated in Russian conditions.
Engine oil Special Tec V, possessing the ACEA A5B5-08 class, is designed for long drain intervals and, in addition to Volvo, can be used in cars of the Land Rover & Jaguar concern that have similar engine requirements.
Special Tec is available in 1, 4 and 5 liter steel gray cans. Indexes are placed on the labels, with the help of which it is easy to determine for which brands the oil is predominantly intended.
Ford Kuga 2012 2.5-turbo (200 HP) - 3 years of operation
on Liqui Moly Special Tec F oil5W 30
Criterias of choice
Earlier, for more than 5 years, I drove a Peugeot-307 2.0 (2003 onwards) with automatic transmission, which left a certain imprint on my driving preferences.
When it came time to replace the car, I definitely knew that it must be a reliable in all respects "European", certainly with a powerful turbocharged engine with a volume of at least 2 liters. and automatic transmission. And since you have to ride a lot and almost all year round, both in the city and on the highway, not excluding unpaved roads, four-wheel drive and a fairly high ground clearance became one of the decisive selection criteria. Without sacrificing comfort, of course.
That is why, having looked over the Internet resources and wandering around the car dealerships, of which there are many in our city, I decided to finally opt for the brand new 2012 Ford Kuga. - a crossover that in all respects meets the listed criteria.
The Ford Kuga model, being the brainchild of the German car industry, compares favorably with the combination of the capabilities of a five-cylinder 2.5-liter turbo engine with a capacity of 200 hp, an adaptive automatic transmission-5 "Aisin" and an intelligent all-wheel drive clutch "Holdex", matched with true German accuracy - nodes, providing excellent dynamics, and
high cross-country ability in all modes of active operation and off-road driving.
Oil selection is a responsible process
It is well known that the "health" of a car largely depends on the correct selection of lubricants, which is especially important for fastidious cars of a fairly high class in this respect, among which the Ford Cuga is no exception. Initially, even at the time of purchase, the engine was filled with Castrol Magnatec 5W30 A1 oil - a fairly effective classic "synthetics" based on polyalphaolefins (PAO).
The first two years there were no complaints about this product, but over time, the engine, most often with a sharp press on the gas pedal, began to work with barely perceptible interruptions, not as smoothly as before. Immediately sounded the alarm and turned to the diagnostic laboratory of the company car service. The local experts reassured me, noting that there were no problems with the engine, and the failures in its operation were most likely explained by the incomplete correspondence of the oil used.
It was advised to replace it with a more technologically advanced hydrocracking Special Tec F 5W30 paired with a MANN HU 719/8 X oil filter, which provides a high degree of purification from mechanical impurities with the unhindered passage of additive components through the pores of the filter element.
Composition and advantages of HC oils
I am a meticulous person, and, before following the advice, I decided to find out what exactly are motor oils obtained by hydrocracking, and what are their advantages over all others. Here's what I found out.
Hydrocracking oils, or HC oils, are so named because they are obtained by hydrocraking synthesis (Hydro Craking Synthese).
The essence of the method lies in the application of an innovative technology for processing and the finest purification of mineral oil products, characterized by the presence of long hydrocarbon chains. Such chains are subjected to chemical breakage, and hydrogen molecules are introduced directly into the break points. The result is a unique product, the molecular structure of which no longer has anything to do with the mineral, but is fully synthetic. Thus, for good reason, hydrocracking oils are classified as synthetics, although they do not contain PAO. In this case, HC-oils more than 85% consist of HC-components, and the remaining portion is allocated to mixtures of various additives, providing a combination of the specified antifriction, anti-noise and damping properties.
The most important plus of HC-lubricating fluids is the unparalleled unique combination of high fluidity with high viscosity - seemingly incompatible properties, which in this case, nevertheless, are not mutually exclusive, but, on the contrary, complement each other. It is due to this that synthetic oils of the hydrocracking group have a viscosity index reaching 160 units. and even exceeding this value. What, in your
turn, without compromising fluidity, it allows the formed lubricating film to remain on the interacting metal surfaces in the temperature range from -40 to + 50 ° C, providing, moreover, due to high thermo-oxidative stability, full engine protection in a longer interval between oil changes.
Special Tec F 5W 30 - perfect for Ford Cuga
Guided by the information received and the advice of specialists, I came to the final conclusion that this is exactly what my Ford Kuga needs.
Three years of operation of the engine on this product using the MANN HU 719/8 X filter has confirmed the correct choice. The motor runs smoothly, without interruptions, with a measured rumbling sound, its technical condition continues to remain flawless. Pleasant bonuses are a noticeable reduction in fuel consumption and an increased service life of up to 15,000 km between scheduled maintenance with an oil change.

Good day to all! In this article, we will conduct a detailed tour of Liquid Moli 5w30 oils.
There is hardly a car owner who has never heard of the Liqui Moly trademark. And this is not surprising. After all, the company's products are distributed absolutely throughout Russia and have long been recognized among hundreds of thousands of motorists. Nevertheless, the company values its customers very carefully, conducts very competent marketing campaigns, works on the assortment and monitors the quality of products. Thanks to all this, supporters of Liquid Moli 5W30 oils get a really very high-quality product for quite reasonable money. But let's figure out what the secret of the company's success is.
Liquid Moli 5W30 Product Lines
First, I must say that Liqui Moly 5w30 oils are included in all product lines for cars and light trucks. These are the line of Specialized oils (Special Tec and Top Tec), Universal oils (Optimal, Synthoil, Leichtlauf) and Branded oils (Molygen). Let's talk about everything in order.
Liqui Moly 5W30 Special Tec AA oil
Perhaps I will not be mistaken if I say that this is the most common line of Liquid Moli 5w30 oils. In simple terms, Special Tec AA is the well-known ASIA & AMERICA. The name has been on everyone's lips for a long time, therefore, in most auto shops selling Liqui Moly 5W30 motor oils, you can buy this oil without any problems. Previously, this oil was produced in a yellow canister, then in a blue one, and now the company has switched to a silver container. I'm not afraid to suggest that the popularity of the product is primarily related to the prevalence of Japanese cars in most regions of Russia. And indeed, wherever you spit, Toyota, Honda, Mazda or Nissan are everywhere. For most models of these auto oil, Liquid Moli 5W30 is ideal, which, in fact, ensures the popularity of the product.
What is this product like? Let's turn to the official website and see the information:
Now let's figure out which is which. First, the oil has very good API SN and ILSAC GF-5 specifications. Rather, not good, but maximum. Very good. In addition, the oil can be used in vehicles of Asian and American origin, such as Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Daihatsu, Hyundai, Kia, Isuzu, Suzuki, Toyota, Subaru, Ford, Chrysler, GM, etc.
If you take a closer look at the canister, you can see the inscription High-Tech-Syntese-Tehnology, which does not mean super new-fashioned high-tech technologies, but HC synthetics (hydrocracking). No, this does not mean that the product is bad. This means that it is not natural synthetics, but a product of the processing of mineral base oils. In general, Liquid Moli 5W30 Special Tec AA oil has a very good additive package that works great up to approximately 10,000 thousand kilometers on a combined cycle.
Verdict: Liqui Moly 5W30 Special Tec AA can be poured if you are ready to fork out a little and buy really good oil.
Liquid Moli Oil 5W30 Special Tec F and LL
In addition, LiquiMoly has other special oils in the 5W-30 Special Tec line, such as Special Tec F and LL. As you might guess from the name, the abbreviation F means the oil's suitability for use in gasoline and diesel engines of FORD vehicles, including those with DPF particulate filters. the product has ACEA: A5 / B5 approvals, which, in principle, is not bad enough, as well as Ford compliance: WSS-M2C913-D. In addition, the oil has a special FIAT 9.55535-G1 compliance. In general, the base for AA and F oils is absolutely the same, but there are significant differences in the additive package. And the FF is also available in a 5L package, convenient for Ford owners, since a little more than 4L of oil is poured into most American engines.
Liquid Moli 5W30 LL is focused on the German market, namely on such car brands as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Opel, Volkswagen. LL stands for LongLife. Indeed, the oil performs well at extended service fluid drain intervals. As for the additive package, I cannot say anything sensible here, since I did not find any information. I am sure that there is nothing innovative here, and the additive package is very close to the additives in Special F. But the tolerances for this product did not stand out, unfortunately. These are slightly outdated API SL / CF and ACEA A3 / B4. Well, the special Opel GM-LL-A025 / GM-LL-B025 compliance, as well as BMW tolerances: Longlife-01, MB: 229.5, VW: 502 00/505 00, which is not surprising in general.
LIQUID MOLE 5W30 TOP TEC Line
As for the Top Tech line, there are also a lot of very interesting Liquid Moli 5W30 products, which are focused specifically on the most modern European cars equipped with the latest exhaust gas neutralization systems, including DPF particulate filters. All Liquid Moli 5w30 Top Tec products are produced using Low SAPS or Mid SAPS technology based on oil hydrocracking, which means low content of sulfur, phosphorus and sulphated ash. Phosphorus, which is an antiwear additive, has been replaced with an organic molybdenum based additive without affecting the quality of the oil. Thanks to all this, these oils are classified according to ACEA as C1, C2, C3 or C4.
Actually, it makes no sense to describe in detail about the products of Liquid Moli 5W30 Top Tec. I would only like to say that if you have a modern car of European origin with a gasoline or diesel engine, then in the Top Tec line you will definitely find something suitable and really high quality for yourself. You can read more about all Liquid Moli 5w30 Top Tec products on our website at.

Liquid Moli 5W30 Optimal Synth
It is a universal oil that is specially adapted for the Russian conditions of car operation. There are temperature differences in winter and summer, and poor road conditions and poor fuel quality. It has API CF / SL and ACEA A3 / B4 approvals, as well as BMW Longlife-01, MB 229.5, VW 502 00/505 00. It also complies with Opel GM-LL-A025 / GM-LL-B025.
In general, this is a common hydrocracking synthetics with a standard set of additives, among which detergents are pronounced, as evidenced by the base number of the product. In general and in general, Liquid Moli 5w30 Optimal oil is designed for the average car and is available for every car owner at a very reasonable price. Those. in fact, this is one of the most budget oils from Liquid Moli with a viscosity of 5W-30.
Liqui Moly 5W30 Synthoil High Tech
But the most delicious, as usual for dessert. Let's talk about the product Liqui Moly 5W30 Synthoil High Tech, which in turn is 100% German synthetics of the highest quality. Please note that 100% is exactly 100% and not lower. Those. in fact, the oil is formulated on a fully synthetic basis without the addition of semi-synthetic components. The fact is that the legislation in Germany does not allow to call oils synthetic if the composition contains at least a small part of semi-synthetic components. Germany is the only country in the world where this is legally prescribed. Those. Liqui Moly 5W30 Synthoil High Tech is pure synthetics based on 100% PAO (polyalphaolefins) and the most advanced additives for various purposes.
As for the additives, everything is very, very good. In the best traditions of moth eradication, phosphorus-based additives have been replaced by molybdenum, which improved the anti-wear properties of the oil and made it possible to use this product in the latest engines running on gasoline or diesel and equipped with DPF particulate filters or the latest exhaust gas aftertreatment systems.
Liquid moth oil 5w30 synthetic has API SM / CF and ACEA C3 approvals, and also meets ACEA A3 / B4, BMW Longlife-04, Ford WSS-M2C917-A, GM: dexos2, MB 229.51, VW 502 00/505 01 and Opel GM-LL-A025 / GM-LL-B025.
In general, if you want the engine of your car to remain under constant protection and do not regret it, then Liquid Moli 5W30 Synthoil High Tech oil is the best choice.
Liquid Moli Oil 5W30 Molygen New Generation
Probably one of the most interesting Liqui Moli oils. Firstly, this is a unique development of the company called Molecular Friction Control. This literally translates to "Molecular Friction Control" and also the outstanding green color of the oil. No, this is far from a novelty, and there are other green car oils, but still an interesting feature.
Below in the video you can see the condition of the engine after using Molygen oil. I think the comments are superfluous here.
Liquid Moli 5W30 Moligen is a hydrocracked engine oil with the addition of a proprietary Molygen antifriction additive package. Regarding the tolerances, everything is standard and everything is maximum. Something like that. The official description from the liquimoly.ru website can be seen below, and you can buy oil on our website.
