Purpose and Specifications

LIQUI MOLY TOP TEC 4200 5W30 is a fully synthetic, low-SAPS motor oil engineered for modern gasoline and diesel engines, including those with turbochargers and diesel particulate filters (DPF). This premium German oil delivers superior engine protection while reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

Key Performance Benefits:

• Excellent wear resistance and engine cleanliness—keeps internal components protected and deposit-free
• Fast oil flow at cold temperatures (5W rating)—ensures instant lubrication during winter cold starts
• Optimum oil pressure under all operating conditions—maintains consistent protection from idle to high-load driving
• Reduces fuel consumption—helps improve overall vehicle efficiency
• Compatible with turbochargers and catalytic converters—safe for modern emission control systems
• High thermal stability—resists sludge and varnish buildup at high temperatures

Approved for: BMW Longlife-01/01-FE, Porsche C30, Mercedes-Benz 229.31/229.51, and comprehensive Volkswagen/Audi specifications (500.00 through 507.00 series), plus Fiat 9.55535-S1/S3.

When to Use / Replace?

Use this oil in any gasoline or diesel engine requiring 5W30 viscosity with the listed OEM approvals. Oil change intervals depend on your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations: typically 10,000–15,000 km for conventional schedules, or up to 30,000–50,000 km for extended-interval vehicles (check your owner's manual). For low-mileage drivers, change oil at least every 2 years even if distance targets aren't reached.

Operating temperature range: Performs reliably from –30°C (cold start protection) to +100°C+ (high-load stability). Shelf life: Store in a cool, dry place; typically maintains quality for 3–5 years in sealed containers.

This 4-liter container is ideal for single oil changes in most passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this oil in my VW TDI or Audi diesel engine?
A: Yes. TOP TEC 4200 5W30 is specifically formulated for both gasoline and diesel engines, including common-rail TDI units. It meets VW 504.00 and 507.00 specifications required by most modern VW and Audi diesels.

Q: Will this oil work with my car's turbocharger and DPF?
A: Absolutely. This oil is tested and approved for turbochargers and diesel particulate filters. Its low-SAPS (low sulfated ash, phosphorus, sulfur) formulation protects aftertreatment systems while delivering excellent engine protection.

Q: Is 5W30 the right viscosity for my engine?
A: Check your vehicle's owner's manual for the recommended viscosity. If your manual specifies 5W30 and lists any of the approved specifications (BMW LL-01, VW 503.00–507.00, Mercedes 229.31/229.51, Porsche C30, or Fiat 9.55535), this oil is an exact match.
