I don't think there is every going to be "utmost certainty", but the Amazon products certainly look legit.
Thanks

Amazon gets inventory a few ways:

Legitimately from the vendor

Unauthorized US vendors

Grey market from overseas

Stale/expired product

Theft rings - surprisingly large amount of product

​​​​​​Counterfeit - huge common issue that they don't care about.

Liqui-Moly says they "do not sell direct to Amazon".

There are a number of international sites like this Amazon listing that show the 5006 spec for Mobil1 Exp2 which I believe has to have the Eurocar marking if you want the right one in the US.

Mobil 1 ESP X2 0W20 Advanced Full Synthetic Engine Oil (1L) https://www.amazon.in/dp/B01M27YIJW/...DC3BX49PRCKGVJ

There is also a direct response from Exxon corporate on the bobtheoilguy site which I cannot find anymore that says Exp2 covers the 5006 spec. Are you guys still thinking the eurocar Exp2 mobil1 is not right for the P400’s?

Thanks very much
I don't think I would buy on Amazon either "just in cases" (Love Actually reference).

But there were no fewer than 4 other options shown on the Liqui Moly website for online purchases, plus local dealers were listed (including in my case an aftermarket shop that specializes in euro-cars).

Anyway when the time comes again I'll start my search here:

https://products.liqui-moly.us/top-t...e-0w-20-5.html

and probably go with one of these (assuming they are all still around):




* ECS Tuning (10L = $84 free shipping)

https://www.ecstuning.com/b-liqui_mo...ter/22044~liq/


* FCP Euro (looks like 10L is about $81.90, I think free shipping too).

https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/0w-...=liquimolysite

* USP Motorsports (10L is $111.84 w/ tax, free shipping):

https://www.uspmotorsports.com/Liqui...LiquiMoly_Site

* Pelican Parts (10L = $115 plus $16 and change for shipping)

https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_In...pn=22044-M1457

So looks like plenty of availability.

EDIT - and If I go the first link (Liqui Moly site) and change from the 1L bottle to the 5L bottle and then click where to buy it brings up 3 of the same retailers but with direct links to the 5L bottles which make it even cheaper, for instance:

FCP Euro - $38.49/5L bottle or $76.98 for two of them
