Could someone here please share their take on Liqui Moly Synthoil High Tech 5w40 for year round use? I believe Liqui Moly is labeled Lubro Moly in the states.

It's an API SM. How good is it? I'm only really concerned with wear protection and deposit formation prevention in severe driving conditions. No extended drain. I change my oil at 5000 miles. 7000 tops.
I'd also like to know whether their 5w40 weight diesel synthetic (Liqui Moly Diesel Synthoil 5w40) is better seeing as how it's only rated an API CF (no S rating at all, I'm guessing it wouldn't qualify SM because of the wear additives so they never bothered to put it up for S certification) oil and perhaps (hopefully?) contains elevated concentrations of antiwear and dry lube additives like MoS2, ZDDP.
Where I live you can get it for a little under USD 100 for 5 litres. This is what I currently use.

A tribologist on http://www.s2ki.com said Lubrication Engineers formulate the very best lubricants in the world so I wanted to know whether these two come anywhere close.
I want peace of mind and the very best consumables I can readily get for my car. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to get a hold of exotic US synthetics where I live.
Despite the wonderful things I've read about Amsoil and Redline they're a pain to get hold of here so I'd also like to know how well these 2 oils stack up against similar weight formulations from Amsoil and Redline.
I drive a Peugeot 206 2.0 HDi(common rail turbodiesel). Model year 2000, 26500 miles on the odometre, almost entirely relatively demanding city driving.
I change anywhere between 3500 and 5000(redlines at 5000) on the tach when the engine is warm. I always idle her 10 minutes before setting off (it takes about that time for the idle to settle down to 750 from 800-850 ~ normal, low idle) and change at 3000 tops until I'm satisfied the engine is thoroughly warm.
Which is a bit of nuisance as I've no oil temp. gauge and am very paranoid about doing right by my car.
And one final question.
Are WS2 and MoS2 any good? Anyone know a readily available WS2 additive manufacturer?
Many thanks. Cheers from Europe.
