Product details
Sold as a single 5-liter jug, this LIQUI MOLY Special Tec B FE 0W-30 is a fully synthetic motor oil for the BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Volvo gasoline engines in the fitment table. It is approved to three factory specifications: BMW Longlife-01 FE, Mercedes-Benz 229.6, and Volvo VCC 95200377. It also meets API SP, ACEA A5, and ACEA B5. LIQUI MOLY built the formula for many BMW gasoline engines from 2002 on that run without a gasoline particulate filter (GPF). The thin 0W-30 grade flows quickly at startup, which helps engine efficiency and fuel use.
LIQUI MOLY engine oil in this size carries a 24-month or 24,000-mile warranty.
Five liters covers a typical oil change in one container, so you are not opening and tracking several bottles. If you only need to top up, the same oil also comes in a 1-liter bottle, part number 22260. LIQUI MOLY rates Special Tec B FE as suitable for engines with turbochargers and catalytic converters, and it describes the oil as keeping the engine clean, resisting aging, and cutting friction. It also says the oil helps lower pollutant emissions. A motor oil separates metal surfaces under load, carries heat out of the bottom end, and holds contaminants until they leave with the drained oil. LIQUI MOLY has had its head office in Ulm-Lehr, Germany, since 1978. It tests every step from raw material delivery through production to shipping, and this oil is made in Germany.
