Motor oil has developed from a simple lubricant to a high-tech liquid. At the same time, the number of oil grades and specifications has increased significantly. Oliver Kuhn, deputy head of the oil laboratory at Liqui Moly, provides more insight and explains what really matters.
The newest car engines by Mercedes require a very special oil. The new Top Tec 6300 0W-20 by Liqui Moly is one of the first oils to be officially approved by Mercedes for them. “This is a double leap in development – both for the engine technology of Mercedes and for our oil technology,” says Oliver Kuhn, deputy manager of the liqui moly oil laboratory.
Years ago it was easy. You did not have to worry about the right motor oil because the same oil was suitable for almost all cars. This is totally different today. Oliver Kuhn, deputy manager of the Liqui Moly oil laboratory, explains why there is no longer a universal motor oil.
The growing variety of motor oils holds dangers for car drivers, warns Liqui Moly. Car manufacturers demand more and more new oils and the variety of oil types is growing. Liqui Moly is launching two types of the latest oil generation on the market in the form of Top Tec 6100 and Top Tec 6200. Oliver Kuhn, deputy head of the Liqui Moly oil laboratory, explains the advantages of the particularly low viscosity oils and warns of dangers for car drivers and garages.
