My current dose of LiquidMoly 5-40 is due to be drained....save me some time...what next?

Oil Solenoid removed....if I am not mistaken, the next was 10-40?

@CaliBenzDriver

 

I have been very happy with the castrol 5w50 so far. I’m in Md, have maybe 1000mi so far.

 

5-40 Mobil with a bottle of Mos2 all the time for me
been splendid. Never had oil burning issue.

 

Ol'man: you're on 5w40 wondering what oil upgrade to use. You're reportedly "lazy and want to save time"...

okay, ​​​​your upgrade choices may be :
15w40 ; 05w50 ; 10/15w50.

The last one is the target viscosity, priors are intermediate cleaning/adaptation steps.


Remember your stuck piston rings need to seal.... Oil alone does not seal rings when they are stuck by old oil carbon.

Personally I would not rush into feeding good viscosity.

I don't think the cylinder imbalance should damage your engine because you drive it around gently.

--> The VVT positioning will be confused at first but will zero in on target over 500Mi.

--> the shift points will be confused then improve to much better matches

>>meaning: driveability is going to get worse before it improves due to skipping over a giant viscosity step.

>> RIP CANCEL TIP:
Do clean or renew the oil filter CAP as its bypass valve is thought to act as a storage for contaminants and with effective viscosity may see more duty ie. greater chance to ingest stored junk from dirty cap.

15w50 lubricant will cancel the "extreme heatsoak" right away the very first Mile.
TT Powertrain ECU+TCU will improve every Mile thereafter while mis-adaptations keep self-tuning to perfection.


Pls report you test experience.

Clutch shift adaptations NOT impacted by viscosity only shift points are improved as the engine fuel map becomes much more predictable below 2000.Rpm.

You will soon be laughing at your journey to cancel ridiculous heat.


> WIN-WIN Cooling...
List in addition to known benefits:

• The radiator fan won't run in 80° weather
• The LED HL tiny fans will stop running nuts
• The front stuts oil won't soften with heat

Welcome to *normal* cooling!

 

How did switching the oil made you happy in "may be" 1000 miles ?

 

I have not seen one case in my lifetime, where laziness resulted in a PHD level degree like an MD, DDS, DC, DO, or other science based advanced degree in medicine. In your defense, I may be able to concede that laziness can be somewhat relative, like you were about to graduate med school at the top of your class, but got lazy and only graduated second in your class.
