Default THIS is the German SYN OIL, I use.

This is what my mechanic puts in my car and he swears by it. Have any of you guys used it?

The pic of the container is below.

This is the particular one I use. The purple bottle is for older cars. My car is 9 yrs old and he says its not old to him considering how I maintain the car up to date.

I decided to search the net and found this from a message board..

"Red Line is the most expensive oil (>$40 for 6 quarts), Voll-Synthese is
second (~$35), and Mobil 1 is the cheapest (~$25). "

"Sold by Bavarian Autosport,Endorsed by BMW europe
exceeds all specs,according to car nut friend
from Houston,european Mcoupe owner who now resides
in Austria(lucky guy)brand is known as the best
synthetic.
Enjoy and tks
"

Funny to see that the LubroMoly uses the same logo style as LiquiMoly.

see for the link:
http://www.liquimoly.de/web/lmhomeen...index_produkte

Probably due to trademark issues or so, they changed their name for the Canada/US market.

Seeing the word moly is always good on a motor oil container.
Moly is an anti-wear additive coveted by motor oil "enthusiasts."
The most expensive motor oils usualy have a good-sized dose of moly in them.
