My Honda Amaze recently hit the 1,00,000km mark and for the past 5k km it was feeling sluggish and lacked the grunt it had previously. I got it serviced at a trusted FNG and found that Liqui-Moly was used along with the usual Synthetic Engine Oil. Now, I initially felt that the car did drive well but that was about it, it was only after the initial 100-odd kilometres that the car started showing a more responsive and eager side. I have driven a total of 6k kms since that servicing and am enjoying the smoothness and rev-happy nature of the 1.2L NA engine. Another major change I have seen is the mileage, right after the service I took a trip to Hyderabad and the car returned an astonishing 16 KMPL (mind you this is an automatic vehicle) and 13-14kmpl in the city.

I am thoroughly impressed with the results I have seen and want to know when the next bottle must be added to enjoy the experience further.

(I hope this is the correct thread to post this)

Update:

During the oil change, added ceratec from liquimoly. 250ml of ceratec to 2900ml of engine oil. If you are wondering about why I did not follow the 6% ratio, then as per the liquimoly website, recommended ratio is 6-10% of volume, 6% is optimal, I had a 300 ml bottle, so I decanted about 50ml to be used in TVS Jupiter. .

Further plans:
ceratec in gear oil at 160K kms gear oil change. If anyone knows why I should not add ceratec to the gear oil, let me know.
If anyone has added ceratec to the gear oil, then please reply in the thread about your experience.

Car is a 2016 1.3 Scross manual with odo at 148500. I will report back to this thread after about 2000 kms of using ceratec.

My reasonable guess is that Ceratec is a polisher of engine internals where uneven grinding or small pitting happens. Gears don't get such stresses that's why their oil change intervals are so far apart. Even if you decide to use ceratec, don't let it sit there for 20-30 thousands of KM.
You can instead use liqi moly gear oil addictive or molybdenum powder of regent grade.

Sir

Please make sure if you can use Ceratec for TVS Jupiter as it is suitable for only Dry clutch vehicles . I am not sure about the clutch system of TVS Jupiter

Experts please elaborate on this !

[govigov]

Jupiter has a dry clutch as far as I know.

80k Run Skoda Rapid TDI due for an oil change.

This is what i plan to follow:
1: Use Liqui Moly 2037 Pro-Line Engine Flush - 500 ml to flush with the old oil.
2: Use Liqui Moly (3701) 5W-40 Top Tec 4100 Low Ash Synthetic Motor Oil. Should need about 4.3 ltrs as per ASS history.
3: Add Liqui Moly 20002 Cera Tec Friction Modifier. I think around 250ml should suffice.

Should i make any changes to the above plan? This will be first fng service outside of ASS and I'm not sure ASS did oil changes or just topups in the past.

The seller on Amazon seems to be Autodrome or Mini Shoppee. Would glady pay extra to get it from an authorized brick and mortar shop around Panvel or Navi Mumbai, so suggestions are welcome.

.

I can vouch for -> 2: Use Liqui Moly (3701) 5W-40 Top Tec 4100 Low Ash Synthetic Motor Oil. I used it for my scrapped 2008 Honda Accord AT, the moment its mileage crossed 6-digit number. There was a marked change in the engine noise for a 6-digit mileage engine, I continued using it for every 5k km service oil change.

Second, do you really feel that after 80k km the piston rings clearances are out that you intend to use -> Add Liqui Moly 20002 Cera Tec Friction Modifier?

I would suggest club costs for ->(2), (3) and go instead for "Liqui Moly 8578 Molygen New Generation 5W-40 Fully Synthetic Engine Oil, 4 Litre (1 Piece)" , it has the right mix of what you need.

I Have A 2017 Innova Crysta Automatic, Can Ceratec Be Used In My Vehicle ? I Am Not Sure If Crysta Has A Wet Clutch Or Dry Clutch, The Bottle Says "unsuitable For Vehicles With Wet Clutches"

Can Someone Please Clarify

This warning applies only to two-wheelers, primarily bikes that shares engine oil with the transmission and have wet clutches which need friction to work well. Most scooters also have dry clutch transmission.

I must have replied to this thread earlier but I ll do so again.
I ve used Ceratec in various cars. Always experienced significant reduction in NVH and significant increase in smoothness when compared to the standard oils.
More recently I used it in my 2012 Model Mini Cooper S for its annual / 6000 km service in November. I first poured LiquiMoly Molygen Oil and then topped it up with the Ceratec. The car had done 68500kms at the time of this service. Ive driven this car about 1800 odd kms since the service - it is now at 70,000kms and it is really butter smooth. Just yesterday I took it on a longer run as a joyride - I do this once in a few weeks and it is a real joy to drive. Smooth as silk, as one might say. One can literally ‘hear’ the engine sound calming down and smoothening out.
There is an undeniable benefit to be found in this combination of Molygen engine Oil and Liquimoly Ceratec, especially for cars of a ‘certain age’ which have clocked a certain mileage.

Great to hear about your experience with the oil. Could you let me know where you purchased the oil and ceratec from?

Thanks & Regards.

The Liquimoly Molygen oil was procured for me by my FNG at the time my Cooper needed its annual oil change/ servicing in November. It is also available on Amazon.

The Liquimoly Ceratec Friction Modifier I used to buy direct from the Liquimoly Distributor in Bangalore but now find it easier to just order it on Amazon.

I am thinking that for my Jimny also now, in its next service and oil change, I will switch from the OEM recommended to Liquimoly Molygen oil.

Honestly it significantly contributes to butter smooth, noise free engine performance. I think the lubrication provided by Liquimoly must be really good if there is such an appreciable difference. The chemical engineering of Liquimoly must also be superlative.

I had purchased a ceratec and thought of adding it in my crysta (used as a taxi) it has run 1,80,000 kms and most of time filled with mineral oil. In the last 1,70,000 service i changed to the TMO BS6 synthetic oil. Now I'm afraid to add ceratec since I read on this thread that it should not be used in engines which contain sludge. Is it possible for my engine to contain sludge so much so that this will cause issues? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What oil change interval in kms and months do you follow ?

You could do a flush and try it out but then again a flush could result in the same issues. You could do a couple of oil and filter changes with Castrol Ultraclean oil and keep a lower change interval before trying out Ceratec. It should work a a milder and more gradual form of cleaning.

Have already added ceratec without using engine flush and I can already feel the difference. The engine is somewhat quiet now and has only been driven for 100 kms.
