Test Outcome:

Fail

Technical Conclusion:

The phosphorus content of the oil is measured at 0.068%, which is below the specified range of 0.07%–0.09% required for ACEA C2, C3, MB 229.51, BMW LL-04, VW 50500/50501 and GM Dexos 2 specifications. Phosphorus is essential for engine protection as it serves as an anti-wear additive. Insufficient phosphorus may lead to accelerated engine wear and reduced durability, especially under high-stress conditions. This discrepancy suggests that the oil may not fully meet the necessary requirements for optimal engine protection and longevity as outlined by these specifications.

Technical Conclusion:

The LiquiMoly TOP TEC 4600 5W-30 oil fails due to insufficient phosphorus content, which is critical for engine protection:

  • Phosphorus Content: The phosphorus level is measured at 0.068%, which is below the required 0.07% to 0.09% range for key specifications such as ACEA C2, C3, MB 229.51, BMW LL-04, and GM Dexos 2.
    • Impact of Low Phosphorus: Phosphorus is essential as an anti-wear additive, and a low phosphorus content reduces the oil’s ability to protect the engine from wear, potentially accelerating engine damage and reducing its durability, particularly under high-stress conditions.

Final Verdict:

The oil fails to meet the specifications required for proper engine protection and longevity due to low phosphorus content. This may affect the engine’s performance and protection, especially under demanding driving conditions.
