Oil and additive specialist LIQUI MOLY has introduced a high-tech low-friction motor oil, Top Tec 4120 0W-40. The new motor oil has been specially designed for the requirements of Mercedes-Benz hybrid vehicles.


With TopTec 4120 0W-40, LIQUI MOLY offers an innovative low-friction motor oil that has been developed to protect modern petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles in the best possible way and optimise their performance. It is specially tailored to the requirements of Mercedes-Benz engines.

“TopTec 4120 0W-40 was primarily designed for the Mercedes-Benz M 254 Plug-in Hybrid engine” says Oliver Kuhn, Deputy Head of the Oil Laboratory at LIQUI MOLY.

The additive technology used is optimised for hybrid vehicles. Oliver explains, “The combustion engine of hybrid vehicles often runs when cold, so that the oil does not reach high temperatures. This can lead to problems due to moisture ingress through condensation. Accordingly, the oil offers optimum flow characteristics at an oil temperature of around 50 to 70 degrees Celsius and counteracts the problems caused by water and fuel ingress.” 

Top Tec 4120 0W-40 has MB 229.52 approval from Mercedes-Benz. Among other things, this standard requires high fuel savings as well as high wear and corrosion protection from motor oils. Thanks to its modern formula, Top Tec 4120 0W-40 ensures consistently stable lubrication, even under extreme loads. This minimises wear and effectively prevents the formation of deposits. By reducing friction losses, the oil supports better fuel efficiency and keeps the engine running at its best.

Particularly suitable for engines with a start/stop system, the oil offers reliable protection and optimal lubrication, even with frequent engine starts and stops.

Even though the new LIQUI MOLY oil was designed for Mercedes-Benz engines, it is also suitable for many Asian hybrid vehicles that require an oil with ACEA C3 or API SP approval. Here, too, the product delivers performance advantages and lubrication reliability.

LIQUI MOLY Top Tec 4120 0W-40 is available from stockists nationwide.
