Liqui-moly new generation oil
- Thread starter ed james
- Start date
Liqui Moly specifically recommends that oil for your vehicle's owner's manual requirements?
Assuming they even know the Toyota specification, I would have thought it included a grade designation. Did they mention what the specification is?
I would recommend sticking with the approved oils (BMW LL-17FE+) while under warranty
I have run the 5W40 "VW 502-ish" variation of this product (does not have the approval but is only "recommended for") - works fine to me based on my UOAs or at leas no-differently than the oil I've used by them. It has a tungsten-based friction modifier added (they call it "MFC"- molecular friction control). It's has a green UV dye for leak detection. I'm not familiar with the new Supra's oil requirements - what does it call for in terms of approvals/specs/viscosity?
Looks like this is their oil for that approval:
Top Tec 6600 SAE 0W-20 - New products
<p>Fully synthetic low viscosity motor oil of the latest generation for optimum performance and lowest emissions.</p>
Which means nothing IRT this application.
It doesn’t say that anywhere. The recommendation is extremely generic. The Supra is also a special case for a Toyota.
Correct. Just sharing what they have listed for the oil the OP was asking about.
Is the OP trying to save money on oil after spending a big chunk on a Supra?
What’s the difference????
Toyota oil: two types; both 0-20 synthetic, Standard Toyota syn oil 0-20 $9.99/qt Supra GR Toyota 0-20 syn. $18.99 / qt What’s the difference???

Why not? Millions of cars run on 0w20 during summer. Your cooling system will take care of the temperatures.
Hopefully Toyota doesn’t sell any of that model in Arizona, Nevada or New Mexico.
lol I was going to post something similar
Ambient temps really don't affect internal engine operating temps all that much.
Someone is needed to try the GR oils and they sound about as specific as the molygen, at least don't exclude the Supra: https://toyotagazooracing.com/jp/gr/grparts/oil/
Whatever may be going on in Japan, JXTG, Idemitsu, Mobil1... Early racing over here just happened with local old RUP (not specific either of course): https://www.ravenol.de/new/toyota-gr-supra-gt4-mit-ravenol-schmierstoffen-unterwegs/
All of the fill could have got drained timely, but photos were shot. So not working in the Supra would be the alternative low VI fun.

What are the Supra forums/FB pages saying w/r to the 5W30s? Anyone running Molygen? It's amazing the power you can get of the new Supra with a simple software tune.
