LIQUI MOLY launches motor oil

With Top Tec 6610, LIQUI MOLY has launched a new motor oil that meets the latest Ford requirements (WSS M2C 952-A1), among others.

“This is a top-of-the-line oil that reduces fuel consumption and at the same time offers the engine comprehensive protection,” explained Oliver Kuhn, deputy head of the LIQUI MOLY oil laboratory.

This Ford oil specification is primarily required for the 1.5l Duratorq TDCi engine, but the oil is also officially approved by Mercedes (MB 229.71), Jaguar and Land Rover (STJLR.03.5006), Opel (OV0401547) and is recommended for General Motors (GM dexos D).

In addition, it complies with ACEA C5 and API SP, is suitable for both petrol and diesel engines and, with a viscosity of 0W- 20, it is one of the low-viscosity motor oils.

Oliver commented: “It, therefore, follows the trend of vehicle manufacturers (moving) away from thick motor oils. With a low low-viscosity oil, the engine needs less power to pump it. This is one of many adjustments made by the carmakers to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.”

This new oil was developed on the basis of Top Tec 6600, which is approved by BMW. After adapting the formulation, the Ford specification could now be covered: “This makes Top Tec 6610 a good addition to our premium oils,” Oliver added.
