PRI 2025: Liqui Moly’s Premium Oil For Modern Fords

There is a tendency in the car world to spend big money on hard parts and then grab whatever oil is on sale at the parts store. Real enthusiasts know better, and at PRI 2025, Liqui Moly made a compelling argument for why that logic is flawed, especially with modern, tight-tolerance engines. We spoke with Connor Doran about their Molygen line and how a true premium oil can be the difference between a long engine life and a spun bearing.

The Molygen series is designed to take the guesswork out of protection. It comes with Liqui Moly’s Molecular Friction Control technology already mixed in. This is a dual-action system: It has a chemical component that bonds to the metal to create a protective layer, and lubricants that smooth out the microscopic rough spots on cylinder walls and bearings. The result is an engine that runs smoother, vibrates less, and most importantly, runs cooler. Doran noted that in real-world testing, engineers consistently see lower oil temps and cleaner turbocharger systems compared to standard fluids.

For Ford owners, the viscosity options are spot on. It offers 5W-20, 5W-30 for the modern Coyote crowd, and 5W-50 for the high-horsepower GT500s and EcoBoost builds that generate serious heat. But beyond the specs, the manufacturing process is what separates this premium oil from the mass-market stuff. Liqui Moly produces everything in-house in Germany. It doesn’t license the formulas to third-party blenders around the world. This single-source approach guarantees that there is zero variation in quality, whether you are buying a quart for a lawnmower or a drum for a race team.

While you can still buy CeraTec as a separate additive, the Molygen line simplifies the process by making it an all-in-one solution. It’s a product range that covers everything from daily commuting to serious track abuse. With a history dating back to 1957, Liqui Moly isn’t new to this game, and its message at the show was clear: If you demand high performance from your engine, you need to feed it high-performance oil. It’s a small price to pay to keep that expensive rotating assembly happy.
