My 1st Blackstone report @ 97k miles

[Boosted 1]

I’m surprised with the results. It’s
Been a nerve wrecking 2 weeks waiting. I was expecting bad news from the doctor lol

Wow!
Guess that speaks well of the Liqui Moly.

Funny thing is, I was thinking of switching to Castrol once I got the results back. I guess I’m sticking with Liqui Moly lol, and it’s cheaper to boot.

Holy Crap! O for lead? How long have you been running the Liqui Moly? If you don't mind me asking, what type of use is this motor getting (e.g. highway, track, city/suburban...)

I’ve been running Liqui Moly 10/60 ever since I bought it @76k miles. I have records of previous owner using it from around 50k. I don’t track it, mainly spritited backroad driving, it’s been on a few long road trips, and normal highway/city.

I would like to add. If you read their report it says they received 2 different samples from me that had the same results. I took one from the drain plug and I pulled the other from the dipstick. I did both because I know a few people have had flawed samples from the dipstick and I wanted to just “double” Check my values.

any links to specific oil used so i can have a good read up on it.......

Great result! Always good to get a positive health report on your engine!
Just out of curiosity, does it see much high rpm shifting or occasional runs to rev limiter, or do you keep the shifts at lower rpms?

And I’ve always used mahle filters, not the Mann
Every other oil change I’ve used a can of Liqui Moly MoS2. I know some people will call it snake oil etc, it looks like it’s working for me. I found some good threads on it over at the m3forums. Some like it, and some are skeptical.
I don’t think it’s a magic cure all potion by any means.

Dc_wright I drive it “enthusiastically”. Not to many 8k rpm clutch drops but I don’t always stay below 3k. Never tracked it so she hasn’t had sustained high rpm runs, just the max amount of fun you can have on public roads

And then I read information such as the link below from the M5Board, which provides convincing information supporting that Castrol TWS flows better than Liqui Moly and is better for cold start wear.

I got better results with Ceratec than MOS2, but YMMV => http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1461006

I may try the ceratec. I just had a few bottles left over of the mos2. I have 3 other blackstone reports from the previous owner and they are all close to my results. I know none of it is cure all, but it sure does seem to help with my lifter noise.

I noticed the same thing with the lifter noise, Boosted. I'm a fan of MOS2 and Ceratec. Ceratec for the first oil change and MOS2 for the next four oil changes, then back to Certatec and repeat. And on my son's E46 330Ci ZHP, I tried out Liqui Moly's engine flush, and I'm really impressed with that product, as well. It cleaned out a lot of sludge, varnish, etc. I checked the oil today (M54 engine has 158K on it), and it was still nice and amber. What came out after the engine flush was black as coal tar. Luckily my S54 engine is pretty much pristine, so I don't have a need to try the flush on it, but for an older car that did longer oil change intervals, it's excellent...though you may find it causes some leaks due to unplugging worn gaskets, but that just means the gaskets needed replacing.

I've been using racetech 10w60 with Ceratec and Mos for the last 3-4 years the same as you Salty... Ceratech in on the first Oil Change and then the next 2-3 oil services i use MOS2 then when doing the next oil change i'm back on the Ceratec again.... Both great products..
