Title: MOLY
Post by: Jae on June 29, 2017, 08:58:57 AM: Hi,
I`ve been on David Silvers web site to order some parts for my K4, and at the top of the list was LiquiMoly 4T Mineral Oil. Has anyone used this and is it any good?

Can't immediately see any real specs to offer a realistic view but most new good condition oils are not going to be a real problem compared to some of the knackered stuff I see people have in their engines.

There's just three things to remember Buy the right grade, buy cheap and change often
