This liqui moly

First time using liqui moly on the last oil change. I have to say that the motor has never been quieter. Mileage up maybe a mile/mile and a half a gallon. Super impressed with it. That is all.

Yep...I've used their green MolyGen oil for over a year with a can of Ceretec and the engine runs damn near good as new.

I'll never buy anything else

Never used Liqui Molly, currently getting car serviced at the dealer as it is a CPO..can you tell me if I can add treatment to the car? If yes, which one, that can help extend engine life, keep the motor quieter etc..

I would be interested in an additive that prevents leaks. This is my fourth BMW and the first engine model to have so many instances of oil leaks. Don't know what BMW did wrong but they should get with Harley Davidson engineers to see what they are doing right.

Use Liqui Moly in all of our Bimmers except the diesels. They get Rotella. Don't notice any performance difference between the molygen and their regular oil except the molygen has die in it so you can use a UV light to trace oil leaks. Good stuff.

Those high rev NA M engines back in the 2000s. Also need valve adjustment every 30k miles.

Correct - see my sig, E39 M5 and E46 M3. But only the S54 of that era required the valve adjustments.

Yup, also had an E85 with S54 engine. Always regret selling that car.
