25 plus-year-old engines with higher mileage need a little extra help slowing down the typical wear you will see on camshafts, chains, and piston rings. I will show you first hand the wear I am talking about and explain with this is my engine oil of choice.

@gerardjurgens2670 9 месяцев назад

I like these videos of the old mercedes and I just happened to need engine oil for my 2005 Kia Besta 2.7 diesel. I live in Chile but I am also from Holland like the mecanic in of this channel so I understand his sense of humor! I just ordered a 4 liter can of this oil and I am happy to know it slows down wear! It was one of the more affordable choices when it comes t engine oil so I saved money too like Zeeuws Meisjelll Geen cent te veel hoor!!! ☺️☺️🇳🇱🇨🇱🇺🇸

@daveh2612 4 года назад

Thanks for the great video, Kent! I have been using LiquiMoly in M113 engines as well since they are also very sensitive to poor oil maintenance and develop valvetrain noise as a result. It makes a huge difference! I love that R107 with the red over tan and euro headlights. Beautiful car!

@JohnsJohnson-ns5xm Год назад

What weight for your m113?

@roveradventures 4 года назад

M103 someone was running Castrol 5w30 in the motor. Swapped to the oil shown in the video. Oil pressure light stopped coming on, maintaining 1-1.2 bar at hot idle temps Lifters are much quieter and the engine runs smoother. Will consider using liqui moly in my M113 AMG engine. They make tons of neat products from what I've researched! One even glows in UV light to detect hard to find oil leaks :)

@SuperMAZ007 4 года назад

I agree with Kent 100%. Chain ware is to do bad engine oil(lack of oil or poor maintenance of the engine). Liqui Moly I have used in other vehicles(none MB) and despite it maybe a pit spicy on price(depending where you live in the world). It is worth the money and saves your new rebuild or old engine from a lot of problems.

@r.weaver3769 9 месяцев назад

I am right there with you, Kent, I use Liqui-Moly Molygen in mine. Oil analysis shows engine wear has reduced since using it over the M***L 1 oil, but I also started going by the testing labs recommended oil change interval for my engine based on my analysis, which is less than Mercedes. Instead of 10k we are doing 6k. I hope to get another 10 years outa the old girl.

@waltpartymiller6802 4 года назад

Knew that you used it, but didn't know why. Good explanation. We used to buy tubes of Molybdenum Disulfide to squeeze into the transaxles of VW Type 2 transporters & buses. It would quiet them down.

I should add that I've had my Benz for 2 yrs and according to AAA insurance guy the meter has read that mileage since 2012.

@cino4919 Год назад

I've been using the LiquiMoly 10w40 Super Leichtlauf ( blue canister ) for a long time in my old Benz's. Engine runs noticably more silent. After 6000mi / 1000km oil change intervals the oil still looks quite clean. I would definitely recommend this brand. Here in Europe it costs about the same as any other premium brand oil.

@squid667 4 года назад

This was a very nice and informative video. Would this oil also be good for our car? We have a 1979 W123 with a 230 M115 engine. It has driven 192.000 miles but it has very little blowby. And the timing chain has 2 degrees of stretch. Until now she has mostly run 10-40 mineral oil. I have only owned a W123 for 3 months and are a bit green when it comes to these cars. We had a number of them in the family when I grew up in the 90s but that is a frighteningly long time ago.

@loboestepario-cl 3 года назад

In WW2 the germans used MoS2 and water to lubricate tanks engines in Africa, due to allies actions to cut oil suply. MoS2 adheres firmly to metal with mechanical pressure.

@wingman427 3 года назад

Interesting to see significant . the wear on the cam shaft. My understanding is that oil additives have changed or dramatically reduced because of catalytic converters. Does the V8 engine you showed have a flat tappet or a roller cam?

The MoS2 anti-wear works great, reduced noise and general smoother drive with the MoS2 oil. Also getting a reduction in fuel usage.

@mattszurko2831 4 года назад

Kent, firstly I love ALL your videos!!! I will start using this oil in my W123 going forward. Do you recommend this oil for modern Mercedes? I have a 2013 W212 that I want to last as long as my W123. I've been using the recommended Mobile oil (changing at 4-5k mile intervals, NEVER the 10K recommend in the book) but, have never been a fan of mobil oil.

@MrTheHillfolk 2 года назад

They got their butts handed to themselves back in the 80s when they started using it in aircraft. Something about the lead in the fuel getting in the oil from normal blowby and coating the insides with this shiny goo all over. Replacing an aircraft engine isnt cheap, about 7-8yrs ago dad had a little 65hp rebuilt and it was like 14k,and that's a peashooter 4 cylinder,sit down for 6 and 8 cylinder pricing.

@DannyColdhill 4 года назад

Agrees! Use it in my racecar with absolute no issues.👍👍

@19jacobob93 3 года назад

I will support your claims! I haven't used this oil but I have used Liqui Moly's MoS2 additive for years. It goes into my 1992 W140 with an M104 and my E36 with an M43. I have even started adding it to my girlfriend's 2019 Hyundai with a GDI engine, as these have a Molybdenum Disulphide coating on the piston skirts that is prone to wearing off and causing accelerated wear. I feel by adding it to the oil their is a constant supply. I always notice a more refined running engine (smoother and quieter) to anything I add it to, and also reduced oil and fuel consumption in older, high mileage vehicles.

@jfysjoel 3 года назад

Hi Kent I am living in a tropical country in Asia. I have a M102 200E which seems to be burning oil. I am currently on Mobil 1 5w50 full synth oil. Does full synth/ semi synth/ mineral oil affect the rate of oil burn for these older Mercedes? I notice that the liquimoly oil you are recommended here is a fully synthetic oil. What are your thoughts on this?

@Mercedessource 3 года назад

This oil is not a full synthetic. It is a blend. Oil burn depends on a lot of factors. Have you done a compression test? Could be piston ring wear. Your M102 engine may need new valve guide seals ( a common problem due to age). Oil type may or may not help. I am not a fan of Mobil 1 for 1995 and older engines.

@jfysjoel 3 года назад

@@Mercedessource Thanks for your reply Kent! I am planning to do a compression test, have suspected that it could be piston ring wear. the latter item might be an expensive job so I am considering "cheaper" fixes first. let me check out the valve guide seals! I have had the car for almost a year now. for the first 6 months of ownership using mobil 1, there was no oil consumption. only after the first 6 months did I notice that I have to top up 0.5 quarts of engine oil every 1000km (600 miles). Hence, I was thinking that the detergents in this full synth oil might be "cleaning out the cylinders too much" is there a particular reason for why you are not a fan of mobil1?
