Theres no oil in the world that is 100%, the highest content is Liqui moly, which is 74-78%. The other 20-30% is natural minerals.

In The USA and Canada, oil can be 10% and be classified as Fully syn and 100% syn.

In Germany, The syn content needs to be over 50% to be a fully syn or 100% syn.

Went to the factory in Ulm Germany last year.

They tested the top 10 - "100 %" syn oils.

Lets just say... the oil u think is 100% is more along the lines of 15-20%

Liqui moly has the highest syn content out of any oil on the market.

motul tested extremely high aswell.

To me "100%" is just that, at least 50% synthesized where "full" is more like 15% like you mentioned. Motul is also classified as synthetic in Germany but im not sure at what %, I was told it was the highest of all manufactures but i'll have to look into Moly! So would you say from what you learned in Germany that Moly is the best option for synthetic oil out there? I get a killer price on Liqui moly...maybe I should switch instead of selling my kidney for motul!

Motul tested right in the high end 60% mark.

Moly is the best, BUT, they only have a semi syn in 5w-30.

It all depends on if you want to run a 5w40, 0w40 or 0w-30. they only make a full syn in these weights.

From what ive seen first hand, its the best.



Ive been running the 0w-30, I love it. And yes! the price is great! I get it from worldpac for like 29.50 for 5 litres. cant go wrong!

As where motul and redline they want like 13 bucks a Q lol


Also if you get it from world pac, get the Lenny Levac phone #, (moly rep)

He got me even a better discount, few t-shirts, moly oil shelf and a big banner.
