Availability

Europe/Global

Top Tec 4200 New Generation is a low-friction, low-SAPS synthetic oil built to ACEA C3, targeting European gasoline and diesel engines with particulate filters, including FSI, common-rail, and pumped-jet injection designs, plus CNG/LPG-fuelled vehicles. LIQUI MOLY positions it for extended service intervals of up to 30,000–50,000 km, but only where the vehicle manufacturer’s own schedule permits it — the interval is a manufacturer decision, not a property of the oil alone.

OEM specifications and approvals

Officially approved

The manufacturer's own product documentation states these as licensed, tested approvals — not a general recommendation.

Meets / recommended for

These specifications are listed by the manufacturer as met or recommended, which is a lighter claim than a formal, numbered approval.

Is this oil compatible with your car?

Viscosity alone does not determine whether an oil is right for your engine. Compatibility depends on the exact OEM approval your manufacturer requires, your engine's build, the model year, and the market the car was sold in — the same nominal viscosity can carry different approvals in different regions. Check your owner's manual or use OilFinderPro below to confirm the requirement for your specific vehicle before buying.

Oils sharing one or more specifications

Each row shows the exact specification two products share and whether it is a formally licensed approval or a lighter "meets requirements" claim on each side — those are not equivalent, and sharing a specification does not by itself make two oils interchangeable in your vehicle.
