Liqui Moly MoS2 Antifriction 10W-40 Part-Synthetic Engine Oil 5 L — Extra Anti‑Wear Protection

LIQUI MOLY MoS2 Antifriction SAE 10W-40 is a part-synthetic, year-round engine oil formulated to reduce wear and provide reliable lubrication for petrol and diesel engines.

This 5-liter container of LIQUI MOLY MoS2 Antifriction 10W-40 (SKU: 2043) is engineered for older and classic vehicles as well as everyday drivers who want extra protection against wear. It blends modern base oils with molybdenum disulfide additives to improve film strength, lower friction, and support engine cleanliness across a wide range of temperatures. Recommended for many petrol and diesel models produced until about 2000, it offers a versatile option where manufacturer specs call for 10W-40 viscosity.

Which engines and vehicles is this oil suitable for?

This lubricant is compatible with a variety of petrol and diesel engines, particularly many models manufactured up to the year 2000. It's often chosen for cars that benefit from a slightly higher-viscosity, protective oil with solid anti-wear properties.

• Suitable for Audi/Volkswagen gasoline and diesel engines (until 2000)
• Fits BMW/MINI gasoline and diesel models made through 1998
• Recommended for Chrysler, Sprinter, Ford, GM, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Saab, Subaru, Toyota/Lexus, and Volvo models up to about 2000
• Good choice for classic daily drivers and higher-mileage engines needing stronger film strength

How does the MoS2 additive improve engine protection?

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) acts as a solid lubricant within the oil, forming a durable low-friction layer on metal surfaces. This reduces metal-to-metal contact, which helps limit wear during start-up and high-load conditions without interfering with seals or filters when used as directed.

• Creates an extra protective boundary layer on engine components
• Reduces friction and wear under high pressure and temperature
• Supports smoother running and less mechanical noise in older engines
• Compatible with common engine materials when used according to instructions

When should I choose 10W-40 part-synthetic oil over other viscosities?

10W-40 is a good match where moderate cold-start flow and robust high-temperature film strength are both needed. It’s often selected for vehicles with higher mileage or older assemblies that benefit from a fuller oil film at operating temperature.

• Use when manufacturer viscosity recommendations include 10W-40
• Helpful for engines experiencing minor wear or higher operating temperatures
• Provides confident protection across seasonal temperature swings
• Suitable as a service fill for many late-20th-century petrol and diesel engines

How do I use and store LIQUI MOLY MoS2 Antifriction 10W-40 safely?

Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications for oil change intervals and filter replacement. Store the sealed 5 L container upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Dispose of used oil responsibly at a recycling center.

• Replace oil and filter per your carmaker’s schedule
• Keep container sealed and upright to avoid contamination
• Store between moderate temperatures and away from open flame
• Recycle used oil at approved collection points

Who is this for: LIQUI MOLY MoS2 Antifriction SAE 10W-40 (5 L) is aimed at owners of older petrol and diesel cars—especially late-1990s and early-2000s models—plus drivers of higher-mileage everyday vehicles who want enhanced wear protection. It’s also a sensible option for hobbyists maintaining classic cars or fleets that accept 10W-40 part-synthetic oils. If your vehicle manual lists 10W-40 or you need stronger boundary lubrication for slightly worn engines, this formulation is worth considering.
