## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this product 100% synthetic oil?**
A: Yes

**Q: Can this be mixed with other full synthetic motor oils? If not all can mix, what kind of groups cant go with it. My car holds 6l of oil.**
A: Those that say you cannot mix are incorrect. ALL OIL MANUFACTURERS are required to allow their oil to mix. It is recommended to use synthetic with synthetic but if down a quart in a pinch, mineral (regular) motor oil  or synthetic blend oil can be used.  Try to use the same weight if possible, but if you have 5W-40 Synthetic in your car which is hard to find, and need to add or top off at a service station, use the more readily stocked 5W-30 if it's the only option.   THIS IS FROM LIQUI-MOLY's own Website  FAQ section....  "Refilling motor oil: Can you mix motor oil in the car?
The mixability of modern motor oils with one another, regardless of the type, must be possible under any circumstances. For it is not always guaranteed that the average car driver will know which motor oil was used by the garage in an oil change."

**Q: Does this have the motor oil additive - liqui moly mos2 anti-friction already in it? and if so how much?**
A: This doesn't contain Molybdenum.  Phosphorous and calcium are anti-wear, per BITOG.

**Q: I have honda civic 2013 ..... i used shell helix ultra 5w30.....is liquimoly 5w40 fine for it?**
A: i would go with redline 5w20. i hav3 an 06 civic that calls for 5w20. Redline 5w20 is more like a 5w30 at operating tempreture plus it is a true synthetic ester oil that will out last and out perform all dino oils and group 3+
