Vehicle Fitment

Universal - suitable for all modern gasoline and diesel engines (with or without turbochargers, DPF, or GPF) where any of the following approvals are required: ACEA C3, API SQ, BMW Longlife-04, Mercedes-Benz 229.31/229.51/229.52, Porsche C30, or VW 504 00/507 00
Designed primarily for Volkswagen and Audi Group vehicles; also suitable for BMW diesel, Mercedes-Benz diesel, and specific Porsche models using the specified oil grades
Consult your owner's manual or oil filler cap to confirm the required oil specification for your vehicle before ordering

Fitment Notes

Safe for use in engines equipped with diesel particulate filters (DPF) and gasoline particulate filters (GPF) - the low-SAPS formulation is engineered to protect DPF/GPF substrate and washcoat from phosphorus and sulfur poisoning, a critical requirement for any vehicle with a particulate filter
Tested safe with catalytic converters and turbochargers
BMW Longlife-01 and Longlife-01 FE recommendations apply for vehicles up to 2018 only - observe manufacturer limitations
VW 500 00/501 01/502 00/503 00/503 01/505 00/505 01/506 00/506 01 recommendations exclude VW R5 and V10 TDI engines produced before June 2006 - verify with your vehicle's service documentation
Extended oil change intervals of up to 40,000 km (24,000 miles) are achievable depending on manufacturer instructions - always follow your vehicle manufacturer's specified service intervals

Made in Germany

Features

Fully synthetic low-SAPS (Sulfated Ash, Phosphorus, Sulfur) motor oil - the reduced SAPS additive formulation is specifically engineered to be safe for diesel particulate filters (DPF), gasoline particulate filters (GPF), and three-way catalytic converters, preventing the premature plugging and deactivation of these exhaust aftertreatment systems that can occur with conventional full-additive motor oils
Modern fully synthetic base stock with latest additive technology - delivers superior engine protection, cleanliness, and performance across all operating conditions compared to conventional or synthetic-blend motor oils in the same viscosity grade
Reduces fuel consumption - independently verified to reduce fuel consumption by more than 2.5% compared to the defined reference oil in the CEC-L-54-T-96 European fuel economy test, one of the most demanding standardized fuel economy evaluations
Instant lubrication after cold start - the 5W low-temperature viscosity rating ensures immediate oil flow and film formation at startup, reducing cold-start wear during the critical seconds before full oil pressure is established across the engine
Excellent wear resistance - the high-performance anti-wear additive package protects engine components including camshafts, followers, valve train, pistons, cylinder walls, and bearings throughout the full service interval
Outstanding engine cleanliness - the detergent and dispersant additive package keeps engine internals free of sludge, varnish, and carbon deposits, maintaining full oil flow passages and maintaining engine efficiency over extended service intervals
High lubrication reliability - maintains stable oil film thickness under all load conditions, from cold idle through sustained high-RPM, high-load operation, ensuring consistent protection regardless of driving style
Reduces pollutant emissions - the low-SAPS formulation reduces the contribution of motor oil combustion products to particulate and hydrocarbon exhaust emissions, supporting the performance of modern emissions control systems
Supports extended oil change intervals - formulated for long-life service intervals of up to 40,000 km as permitted by vehicle manufacturer specifications; always verify with your owner's manual
20-liter canister format - ideal for professional repair shops, VW/Audi dealerships, BMW and Mercedes-Benz service centers, fleet operators, and multi-vehicle facilities performing high-volume oil changes
Manufactured exclusively in Germany to Liqui Moly's strict quality and R&D standards
