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.
