Title: Liqui Moly oil
Post by: Notty on Tuesday, 14 April 2020, 03:03 AM
anyone had experience of  Liqui Moly ? seems they provide oils for Moto2 and Moto3
eBay has LIQUIMOLY 10W-40 4T MOTORCYCLE ENGINE OIL SERVICE PACK 4L + 1L FREE = 5 LITRES for £29

I use one of their full synthetics - no complains.

However, I advise against using any Engine Flush in the 14 as a good part will stay in the system unless you drain the oil cooler too. Even then there will be some left over in the system. Who knows what this flush will do to the engine oil over time.

Totally agree with this about flushes.

From memory the figures are -

4ltr - oil change
4.5ltr - oil & filter change
5ltr - oil & filter, plus drain cooler
5..7ltr - from dry with a rebuilt engine

Good point about those engine flush products Andre.
