Top 5. Lukoil Genesis Special

Rating (2022): 4.44
The best combination of price and performance

Pure synthetics Lukoil Genesis Special C3 5W-30 provides high-quality ICE lubrication, working perfectly at the lowest temperatures (down to -45 ˚C).At the same time, the cost of engine oil is democratic and creates a high competitive potential of the product.

The label of this synthetic motor oil from a well-known Russian brand has the inscription “Only for service stations”, and to change the lubricant in the Citroen C4 engine, you will have to look for a product from authorized dealers (or buy liter containers in retail). And this is the only drawback of the available oil, which drivers of foreign cars are happy to pour into the engines, including models with a gun. Molybdenum-based additives create ideal conditions in friction pairs - this leads to an increase in engine efficiency, reduces the likelihood of scoring, and increases the life of the internal combustion engine. Owners recommend filling Genesis Special C3 at least after 7.5 thousand kilometers.

Pros and cons
  • Low consumption
  • Acceptable price
  • Reduces engine noise
  • Difficulties in purchasing in retail chains
  • Short service life

    Good selection of oils. I myself have been riding a Citroen for the 3rd year. The motor is not young. But at the same time finicky. Factory oil, as a rule, ate. Now liquid moth. There is no oil consumption. Interestingly, with factory oil, the consumption in the city was 10.5 l / 100, and with Liquid Moth it decreased to 9.5. The result is good.
