Liqui Moly 2042 Differential Oil

Liqui Moly MoS2 Antifriction Motor Oil 10W-40

Liqui Moly MoS2 Antifriction Motoroil 10W-40 is a semi-synthetic engine oil formulated with molybdenum disulfide for added wear protection at friction surfaces. It is suited for older gasoline engines, including air-cooled and water-cooled designs, and supports stable oil pressure, reduced friction, and lower oil consumption in demanding service.

Part number 2042 is commonly searched for fitment on vehicles such as Nissan Maxima, Infiniti G35, and Honda Accord applications that call for 10W-40 service oil. If you are cross-shopping Liqui Moly 2042 for older import engines, this formula is built for normal and severe driving conditions where extra lubrication reserve matters.

Key Features

• Semi-synthetic 10W-40 motor oil with MoS2 additive technology
• Molybdenum disulfide helps form a lubricating layer on friction surfaces
• Supports wear protection under high pressure and high temperature
• Helps reduce friction, oil temperature, and oil consumption
• Gray oil color is normal for this MoS2 formulation
• Suitable for older-generation gasoline engines, including solid lifter designs

Product Details

Liqui Moly’s MoS2 Antifriction Motor Oil line focuses on friction reduction and added lubrication reserve for engines that benefit from a robust 10W-40 viscosity. The MoS2 additive package is the defining feature of this product line, helping maintain a protective film across moving parts during hot operation, stop-and-go driving, and extended service intervals. Part number 2042 is a practical choice for owners maintaining older Japanese, European, and specialty vehicles that specify this viscosity grade.

Compatible With fitment listings include 2005-2007 Nissan Maxima, 2003-2006 Nissan 350Z, 2003-2006 Infiniti G35, 1994-1997 Honda Accord, and 2000-2005 Subaru Outback. Additional listed applications include 2003-2008 Infiniti FX35, 2004-2007 Nissan Titan, and 1999-2001 Honda CR-V. This part cross-references no additional part numbers in the provided data.

What It Helps Address

• Engine wear from high-friction operation
• Oil pressure instability in older engines
• Elevated oil temperatures during severe use
• Oil consumption concerns in higher-mileage engines
• Lubrication demands in solid lifter gasoline engines

Installation Notes

Use only where the vehicle manufacturer specifies 10W-40 engine oil or where service data confirms this viscosity. Verify oil capacity, drain interval, and temperature range before filling. This formulation is gray in color because of the MoS2 additive package, which is expected and not a defect. Always confirm the application against the vehicle’s service information before use.
