Hey Fritz! Thanks for all your videos thus far! I’m also a fellow estoril blue m235i driver! I’m on my 2nd oil change with the same liquimoly molygen and I’ve been a fan of it since. The tungsten and the UV light reactive-ness did sell me on it. FCPEuro has been huge so far to me to buy oil from them. Just send them back the old one, and get a refund back for the used oil; so really the cost of molygen has been me the shipping back to their HQ. Anyway thanks for the great content! I’ve got a similar build to you and it’s also my daily. I just want to be able to find some M2c seats, like the m4 gts ones you have!

As always straight to the point and informative, awaiting more great content!!!

so good youre putting in all this work for our forgotten/overlooked bmw model, youre the only one doin it consistently/well i think at face value we all want to see visible/striking results in upgrading/switching oil but in this instance, between these two oils i think everything will be the same when looked at face value. but where i think this "model" of moly oil gets the label of "better", is the special "Powerful MFC (Molecular Friction Control) technology prevents formation of deposits" sauce it has, something you wont feel/see until you check that magnet and that black light feature. i dont think you, with a tune would see noticeable smoothness/mpg differences cuz its still 5w40, for increased economy its usually 0w 30, to maaaybe see a diff, but that turns to water to fast and ultimately useless especially if youre not stock and or drive hard for even half of the oils life. i think it simply comes down to if you want to pay the little extra money(maybe) for some extra wear protection, an internal spout and the black light thing over "regular" brands on fcp euro theres 3 moly "service kits" (7Liters and the mann filter), the green molygen kit is the cheapest of the 3 at 65$ and obnoxiously cheaper than the bmw branded oil kit at damn near 100$. castrol edge at oreillys is 71 for 2 jugs minus the filter. i think im gonna go with this cool kid moly, for my next change, ill come out cheaper than the dealer at; 100$(this time) for a 7 quart+filter kit, magnetic drain plug and 3 extra filters and save 90mile drive to/from livermore for me to wait 3 hours in the dealership lobby haha www.fcpeuro.com/BMW-parts/M235i/Oil-Filters-and-Lubrication/?year=2015&m=20&e=180&t=5&b=9&d=3584&v=

Brother, can you please drop a video on how to change the front bearing left or right or simply the wheel hub, i have the same car and bearing needs to be changed, your videos are very helpful and you make it everything look so easy. appreciate it man

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w-40 for my BMW M5, my car loves it! Second would be Liqui Moly Molygen 5w-40 oil. I live in Los Angeles so it's mostly paradise weather all yearly....

You can uv oil fluid to any oil to see leaks with UV light.

Hey, hope all is well, My question is what was the result on the magnet after the oil service? I’m more interested in the metal shavings it may have produced during your timely oil service. It would be nice to see that the Liqui Moly reduced shavings in the motor by a good amount. I’m currently running 0W 30 in my 2014 BMW M235i that was recommended by BMW dealer near me

Very interesting video, thanks for this!

Castrol Edge FTW! I'm also using 5W40 since I also live in a hot climate.

How would it compare to Hot Shot’s Secret Adrenaline PS +4? Many swear ZF 8 and nothing else. Looking forward to more opinions/experiences on this

Good evening, if you would allow the right oil for the car, Chevrolet Triple Blazer, model 2004, engine 4200, note that the oil cap says 5w30, which type of product was used by Comoli?

i used liquimoly molygen on my last oil change a month ago and the engine actually sounds quieter.

Just got my m235i yesterday. I have the new battery from my f30 in it(one month old) and it still said low battery warning after using a battery charger on it overnight til it said full/maintaining. Think the alternator is screwed or should I get my laptop and reset with ista?

i got the recommendations for my 550i v8 engine for Liqui Moly 2332 Leichtlauf High Tech 5W-40 Engine Oil - 5 Liter with ceratec.. is it better than molygen? or which is better?

Why cant I find this Molygen recommendation for 335i N54? Cant find this compatibility anywhere and I wanted to know the scientific reason as to why?

One question, why do you care if new oil lines gaskets of oil filter ? It really doesn’t matter what type of oil on it or how used it is.

Why 5-60? I have a stag 2 640 I get oil change at bmw an they only put what it requires idk if it’s the location I live New York it gets cold out here so why 5-60?

Does liqui moly molygen have an aroma like oil in general?

Hi, I am regular user of Liqui Moly Molygen and been using since 2018.... You won't feel the difference instantly since the castrol edge itself a very good oil but i think its safe to say that on your 3rd oil change with liqui moly you'll see a difference, when I switched from 5W-30 to 0W-20 i saw a huge bump in performance, fuel economy, engine got relaxed, noiseless, and car got quicker. I would also recommend you to use liqui moly ceratec oil additive for more quickness, slickness, snappiness and instant throttle response, it reduces the friction.

Yo manual BMW dope. I setup Audio in BMW 2002 Frog. Thx for heads up on this Oil I run VW 1.8T with 10w60 since Im in florida.

I personally use Amsoil in my N55 for quite a few years now but might give this a try if it’s on sale just out of curiosity. Good info.

You must have some insane traffic to get the same mpg average as my F10 550i. On a side note, I use Pennzoil euro L 5w30 before winter hits and switches to Leichtlauf High Tech 5w40 near the summer times. I've noticed that on 90+ degree weather the 5w40 oil ran better than the 5w30 but otherwise it's about the same during cold season. The euro L 5w30 costs about $25 a 5qt at the local walmart while Leichtlauf 5w40 at $43 a 5L.

Did you continue to use Molygen or did you go back to Castrol?

Can i use this oil on my bmw 530i xdrive 2017 G30 tuned?

Would you say Motul 0w40 is good for this engine?

I found on sale the molygen 5w40 being 15$ cheaper than castrol edge 5w40🤔

_I use castrol edge and mix it with lucas stop leak. same effect as using that expensive liqui molygen_

Um you didn't perform any tests on the actual oil. like how it suspends and removes contaminants, the break down of the oil over time, viscosity, cold start adhesion, detergents, Stabilizers etc. I used Molygen in my Forester with a performance oil filter and got amazing results. Cost was a whopping $15 more than a full synthetic oil change, well worth it.

Thank you for the video. Music is so loud comparing to your voice

I just picked up some of this @ $46.49 USD for 5.28 qts or whatever it is. First time using "fully" synthetic. If I buy 1 more qt thats enough for 2 oil changes in my 19 civic 1.5t . I just hope its worth it. I always use castrol edge.

I use 0w 30 bmw ll01 fe oil on my tuned f30 n55. I really don’t trust liqui Molly. I had a v10 m6 that used Molly was burning the oil. Went with motul ran a lot better and stop burning oil.

Hi bro, are you still using the same oil ?

That oil has a rather high NoACK at 10% and lower unspecified HTHS at >=3.5 so idk if it's really worth it.. Another excellent premium oil with premium price tag is Ravenol RCS, though idk if they sell it in USA.

Castrol Edge has worked fine in my E46 285k miles and 15 years later it is still perfectly fine and I'm on the same engine. Not gonna change it up now, If I do get a high performance newer BMW then yes, I would use this from the beginning. Other then that there's no point in changing and spending more on oil, my E46 is living proof. Runs like new

this crappy magnetic plug broke on me as well and luckily I had my old one. When it broke, half of the plug was still inside the hole and good thing I was able to get it out

I have only used this oil since like 2015 in my old 335i which i sold at 155k miles and my m235i i bought in 2018 and never looked back. zero issues even with heavy track use.

driving conditions need to be the same for fuel efficiency, its the engine internals that matter the most!!

Looks like you may have forgotten the crush washer on the oil drain plug? Or does the M235 not use this? Have been using LM Molygen for 80k on my F36 428. Very good oil.

I’ve been using Castrol edge 5w-40 on my 535i for 3 years and love it. I buy it at Walmart for a great price. I change oil and oil filter every 5k or once a year whatever comes first. If you want real oil analysis I would go to Project Farm channel on KZfaq where he tests these oils. In project farm analysis liquid molly did not rank very well. It ranked worse than Walmart brand oil. I like to knowing the additive package in the oil that I’m using as well as real world oil analysis results. I use Pennzoil ultra platinum in my other vehicles. At the end of the day I truly believe that it’s about the frequency of the oil changes and less about the brand of the oil. Just be consistent with oil changes. Especially on a BMW.

My G it’s a reason the molygen is more expensive one oil change isn’t going to show you anything , I’m positive your engine would like any liqui moly more with frequent use just because it’s the best on the market as far as additives and extendinf engine lide

I’ve seen the virgin oil analysis on molygen and tbh it is quite disappointing. Not that it’s a bad oil by any means but it is nothing special. there are oils with far better additive packages that are significantly cheaper

Hey, I’m curious if you don’t mind.. what oil temps do you avg with you N55? I just got a 435 M sport and I’m usually at a tick before 250F or right at 250 with daily driving. I live in LA where it’s a bit warm, so I’m sure that factors in some. I’ve been told my multiple bmw specialist that this is normal and also the bmw manual states this as well. Just curious what you’re seeing and also did you notice any cooling advantages once you switched to the GTS hood? That’s something I’ll be doing soon. Thanks!

Castrol Edge best value and great oil!

It would have been easier to compare for example, the oil pressure at different temperatures, the time it takes for the oil pump to build up pressure at the cold start, that would have been very explicit to see if it is worth it, or which one is the best. I also wonder, in such a high power small engine, why you wouldn`t use say 5w50 molygen or 0w50 if your engine does not use oil... But hey, that's me. I`m the guy that doesn`t use what "the manufacturer reccomends" i use what i know and tested to be best. :)

I was thinking of using this oil for my 2011 n55 pwg 335i. You think there’s better options?

Why 5w40 molygen no have api sp Just api sn

2:46 is the old oil Molygen? it turned dark brown from bright green ?

I have an f30 b48 factory uses 0w-20 do you recommend 5w-30 or 40 from fcp euro because I’m not sure whether to switch to that viscosity.

Hi Fritz, thanks for your great m235i content as always! After watching your video I plan to give this Liqui Moly a try but I’m debating on whether to use 5w-30 or 5w-40 for my next oil change. Ive been on the OEM BMW 5w-30 for my past oil changes, only yesterday that I got an “engine at minimum level” warning signal from the car and I’ve been trying to figure out if it is the lower top end viscosity that’s causing my engine to burn the oil quicker (I’m pretty sure the decrease in level is not due to a leak). My concern with 5w-40 is that I live in Vancouver and we have much cooler summer than California. Hoping you could give me some advice, thanks.

So on my 228i, i first used Mobile one. Which i didn't feel the difference from the time I drove off the dealer's garage. About a week ago i decided to go with Castrol amd Gosh i wish i have known. Now the car drives smoother, shift smoother, quite. This is bar far the noticeable change i registered doing an oil change.

The best oil to bmw is pennzoil ultra platinum 👌

my wifes mazda recommends moly in the oil, and the liqui moly is cheaper than the mazda brand, so i am now using liqui moly.....the recommend for moly is the sludge fighting and lubrication properties, and if they recommend, ill use, just not the over inflated mazda brand

Does anyone know if it still looks green when used?

Liquimoly is certainly an ok oil but it's not anything special or "best of best". Has no approvals keep in mind. I've run Molygen extensively including tracking. It has a tungsten-based friction modifier. I'd say Leichtlauf High Tech 5W40 over Molygen as it has the BMW LL01 approval guaranteeing performance.

after how many km you change the oil?

The liquimoly jug is in liters, not quarts.

The best oil on the planet imo for any European engine is the AMSOIL European Formula. I’m running the 5W-40 FS in my 2015 428i rn and it’s literary the same color after 3,000 miles……I can comfortably run 10k to 15k intervals on this oil! Try it out once for yourself fritz!

Castrol is good stuff tho

Also Try Motul. It is also make your engine quieter.

I use amsoil 5w 30

It’s not a hard pill to swallow, u based it off gas mileage and sound?

That oil drain plug is aluminum. I dont trust an aluminum oil drain plug. Thats why i got a standard steel magnetic from fcp euro for $5!

Liqui-moly is NOT the best of the best lol as you say..it’s group III crude oil. Run group IV if you want top tier oil..group III is fine but it’s not the best just saying

Walmart, Quaker State 5W-40, LL01 approved, 22 bucks for 5 qts. Best oil ever.

👍👍👍

Try amsoil. My engine was real quite after oil change

Synthoil is better . This one is not full synthetic

Crappy aftermarket aluminum sump plugs...

Liqui moly is mediocre at best. Go with redline, motul or high performance lubricants

🇮🇳👌❤👌❤👌❤👌

add MOS02

If you think moly is one of the best oils out there your living in lala land , in all the tests I’ve seen moly doesn’t even come close to the best 5 best oils out there, AMS oil comes first in 90% of all motor oil tests, then red line followed by castrol and penzoil, even Amazon and shell oils finish higher the moly , moly is very average oil with one of the best marketing,that’s why so many people go for it. Nothing special about it. Go and watch the tests yourself

Mi sembra un confronto senza senso..
