That's part wives tale from some people being sour over the Liqui Moly cost. Liechtlauf is a **** good oil with the specs:
how come nobody else thought on that?
Caught what? LM description of their products? They have been "selling bridge" to the people since 1997 when Hydrocracked oils made their way into synthetic PCMO.
To be fair, if FCP didn't have LM would you still buy it retail or use whatever FCP was selling to take advantage of the program?
I’d still take the FCPeuro program oils but that’s the point. Take money out of the equation and LM has some very good products. Leightlauf has many approvals. Molygen doesn’t but it’s nice and robust.
Both mentioned products are at best on par with Castrol Edge 5W40, which has, by the way, a better Group III base stock.
Their is no reason to pay full price for LM when FCP exists if you are in the long game.
Most people don't want to bother shipping used oil, so in that case, the price for LM is still about the same at FCP as it is on Walmart. By buying a quality oil for half the price, there is no need to then go through the process of shipping used oil back to FCP.
Haha, I mean I like FCP Euro as well, but not enough to deal with shipping 7 quarts of oil back to them.
You have to look at the bundle...oil add in wipers plus filters etc...why not for '00s in store credit for an hour of packing/shipping/paperwork filling out?
FCP and LM. How do you think he lives large?
But again, if you're going LM and you're looking at value then why wouldn't you use FCP euro? You keep doing apples to oranges. I can do 7 quarts LM, Oil filter, air filter, and cabin air filter for $18. You're talking QS Euro for $23 for 5qts only (and I like QS euro) but if anyone is going to mention the money aspect then make it about the money. If you're going to say an oil is inferior then stick to that. Don't say an oil is inferior due to the money. You're crossing two topics and there's a know remedy to that.
I already haul my own oil to Autozone for disposal. What's the difference between there and shoving it in whatever box was shipped to me and printing a label? I've been changing it in my 2014 2500HD 3/4 6.0l, Ineos Grenadier, Yamaha 225SHO, and JD Gator 825i. To say it's paid for itself is an understatement.
The Rowe stuff looks good. Buddy is sponsored by them.
They have the same issue as Ravenol, limited distribution in the US. Helps drive prices up (though vollsynthetisch 5w40 is actually not bad, similar pricing to Leichtlauf). Looks very good though, on paper anyway.
