Just sayin'. As I said in a post above, to each their own and the lower-priced stuff is your jam, cool! I'm sure those oils work great too.
LM is not boutique oil. LM is not 90Schilling, it is Budweiser.
I should have said "boutique" - may bad and not my intent - but here in the U.S., this is somewhat of a "boutique" oil vs. Castrol/M1 etc. was my point. Yes, it's nothing fancy but people assume it is b/c of it's higher price. It's like VW....the Ford of Germany!
To be fair, Liqui Moly's marketing implies it's some magical German WunderÖl that will make your engine form into Voltron, and they make sure to plaster their MADE IN GERMANY logos everywhere they can so people will assume it's lovingly crafted by some lederhosen wearing Aryan superman rather than made with a machine that performs exactly the same in Shanghai or Detroit as it does in Berlin.
