Customer art: the ‚second‘ life of a LIQUI MOLY oildrum.
Bernd Schröder, member of the Sales team, on holiday
with his surfboard.
...always stay on course!
LIQUI MOLY helps
Ausgabe 11/2012
Dear readers,
dear customers,
[email protected]
Winter is nearly here! The days are getting shorter, the clocks have gone back, the first
snow is falling and the car gets winter tyres. But, as much as might be changing, we at
LIQUI MOLY will continue to do the same. Be it spring, summer, autumn or winter, in
snow, rain or sunshine, we are there for every customer. Our hard-working Sales colleagues are always on the move; we look after our partners and business friends.
Running for a good cause
We are diligent, respectable and highly motivated. This is precisely why we are holding
our course and won‘t allow ourselves to be thrown off by any adversity. We are active
on all continents and around the clock. And the result is easy to see: in the past few
weeks we have been able to expand further and welcome more new colleagues. We
took part in many events and represented our brand!
In this year‘s race 11 year-old Erik Pötschik was sponsored by LIQUI MOLY. 500 euros were spontaneously pledged for this activity. The kids and teachers were very pleased about this contribution.
Be they events in Spain, China, Belarus or Japan: the variety of campaigns in which
LIQUI MOLY is not only taking part, but is 100% behind, is great. An example of this:
the use of our oils in machines 1,000 metres below the surface in South African mines.
Have a flick through the magazine, let yourself be inspired and find out everything you
need to know about our activities over the past few weeks.
Thus every participant was a winner in this activity.
Every year the Rouanet High School in Beeskow, Brandenburg, Germany organises a sponsored race.
The goal is to raise as much money as possible to be used in various UNESCO activities. Such as projects in Pasto, Columbia and Bujumbura, Burundi, where partner schools are built and enhanced thanks
to financial support.
Every participant gave their best in order to raise as much money as possible for the school projects. In
the end, this and many other contributions allowed not only the UNESCO projects to be supported, but
the high school was also able to organise a festival in celebration of its 20 year anniversary.
I hope you enjoy this voyage of discovery!
Kind regards
Ihr Konstantin Buhr

ANTEPRIMA PRODOTTO
ESTENSIONE DELL'INTERVALLO DI CAMBIO OLIO
Pro-Line TBN-Booster di LIQUI
MOLY azienda tedesca tra i
leader nella produizione di olii
per motori, addittivi, prodotti
per la cura dei veicoli e altro,
protegge il motore a olio contro
gli acidi.
La qualità del carburante lascia
il segno anche nei motori a olio.
Se è cattivo allora l'intervallo di
cambio olio è ridotto.
Una delle cause di questo è l’alto
contenuto di zolfo nella benzina e
nel diesel.
La Pro-Line TBN-Booster
rifornito dall’azienda tedesca
Liqui Moly neutralizza lo zolfo ei
altri residui di combustione acidi
nell'olio e consente quindi di
estendere gli intervalli di cambio
olio fino al 25 per cento in più.
Questo nuovo sviluppo di motori
LIQUI MOLY offre una protezione supplementare contro gli acidi che possono
essere creati dallo zolfo. Questo additivo, che viene semplicemente aggiunto al
motore a olio, consente intervalli di cambio olio significativamente aumentati fino
al 25 per cento.
Questo riduce il costo di acquisto di un motore a olio nuovo e minimizza i periodi di
sosta del veicolo.
Combustibili di qualità inferiore alla media, siano essi a benzina o diesel,
contengono più zolfo di carburanti di elevata qualità, spiega Reiner Schönfelder,
ingegnere di applicazione a LIQUI MOLY. Non appena il motore viene avviato,
in particolare dopo un avviamento a freddo, un po'di carburante finisce sempre
nel motore a olio e quindi un po' di zolfo. Lo zolfo è di per sé già corrosivo e può
danneggiare la vita interiore del motore quanto l'olio, spiega Schönfelder. Ma molto
peggio è quando c'è acqua nell'olio. Questo può già essere trovato nel combustibile
o proviene da condensa. Anche piccole quantità di acqua sono sufficienti a legarsi
con zolfo per produrre un acido solforico. Il motore a olio buono può trattenere
per un po’, ma ad un certo punto perde la sua capacità di farlo. E 'quindi giunto
il momento per il suo successivo cambio dell'olio.La qualità del carburante è una
ragione decisiva per cui la vettura dello stesso modello ha diversi intervalli di
cambio olio in tutto il mondo, dice Schönfelder. "Dopo aver sentito un crescente
numero di denunce di intervalli di cambio olio frequenti abbiamo deciso di arrivare
alla radice del problema", dice Schönfelder. Il risultato è stato un additivo per
motori a olio che aumenta significativamente la protezione contro gli acidi ed è
semplice da usare. Nasce così TBN-Booster.
Può essere aggiunto nel motore a olio in qualsiasi momento. Dopo aver aggiunto, il
motore dovrebbe essere lasciato acceso in modo che l'additivo può mescolarsi nel
motore a olio.
Ha senso aggiungere TBN-Booster come parte di un cambio d'olio. Aumenta il
TBN (Total Base Number), che è un indicatore di protezione contro gli acidi. Il
dosaggio è di circa 2-4 per cento a seconda del motore e la qualità del combustibile.
Aggiungendo il due percento aumenta la TBN di ca. 4 mg KOH / g. L'uso di TBN-Booster ha senso se vi è un contenuto
di zolfo superiore a 50 ppm.
TBN-Booster è stato originariamente sviluppato in paesi che non dispongono di una qualità ottimale del carburante.
23
L'additivo è prodotto in Germania, il paese natale di LIQUI MOLY. "Vogliamo che ogni pilota del mondo, non solo
quelli in Germania, per essere in grado di beneficiare della nostra esperienza."

Liqui Moly
estrena sitio web
para móviles
Notiziario Motoristico (Italy), Oct. 2012
A longtime industry leader in producing oils and additives
to protect gears in automotive transmissions, LIQUI MOLY
rises to the challenge of industrial applications as well.
La empresa alemana amplia su web al
español para móviles y Smartphone.
La compañía alemana Liqui
Moly, presente en más de 100
países y especialista en aceites
para motores, aditivos, artículos para el cuidado del automóvil y productos destinados
al servicio técnico, inicia una
nueva andadura web con su
versión para móviles de la página oficial de la empresa. El
fin de esta nueva versión es dar
mayores prestaciones y mejorar la comodidad de los usuarios de Smartphone. Pensando
en ellos, se ha realizado un diseño optimizado sin variar los
contenidos y estructura que
permitirá mayor funcionalidad. Hasta ahora el sitio web
móvil estaba disponible para
PC en alemán e inglés. En ade-
lante habrá también una versión española y francesa.
El acceso a esta prestación
es muy sencillo. Es suficiente
con visitar la página web de la
empresa, www.cpliquimoly.es. El
sitio reconoce automáticamente si se ha accedido a él a través
de teléfono móvil, y redirige al
usuario automáticamente a la
web móvil.
El desarrollo de esta herramienta es el resultado de
la evolución iniciada hace algunos meses por la compañía,
cuyo primer paso en esta dirección fue una variante para
celulares de su guía de aceites
on-line gratuita al descubrir la
ingente cifra de accesos desde
estos dispositivos.

the occasion was provided by
the continuing difficulties of mine
operators with their transmissions—with the gearing in their
conveyor systems, for example.
the transmissions on large conveyor belts may have entirely different dimensions than automobiles, but the principles and most
of the problems are the same,
explains reiner Schönfelder, application engineer at liQui molY.
“these include primarily wear and
resistance to high temperatures,”
he says. “especially in mining,
dust accumulates in the transmission, increasing friction between
the gears and other components.
this results in greater wear and
higher temperatures. An additional
factor is the high ambient temperature, frequently driving up the
temperature of the oil in the transmission to its upper limit. the
risk of inadequate lubrication and
excessive wear is correspondingly
high. in addition to the repair costs
themselves, a defect in such a
conveyor system leads to considerable costs for loss of production.
reliability is therefore of great
importance.”
the simplest solution is presented by additives for the transmission oil, and additives for motor
vehicles are liQui molY’s specialty. in its home market the
company is the market leader with

pieces of equipment operate under huge strains and in
harsh environments.
corresponding expertise. the mine
operators were skeptical. when it
comes to oils and greases, they
too possess a great deal of knowhow, but additives were uncharted
waters for them. however, additives are nothing out of the ordinary for machines; they are an
indispensable constituent of modern oils. ultimately these additives
give the basic oil the properties
required, says Schönfelder.
here the company was able to
contribute with its experience in
the automotive sector. together
with the mine operators, it ana-
lyzed the concrete problems on
site. this was followed by initial
tests, which already delivered clear
results: following the inclusion of
the additives, the temperature of
the transmission oil decreased
10 to 15 degrees celsius. ronnie
Graven, who has been operating
diamond mines for decades, has
now placed his full trust in liQui
molY. “this is a very simple solution providing better protection for
our machines,” he says. “this not

And some from the fact that there are a few black sheep
here, as in every branch, who make incredible promises or
offer inferior products, giving additives a bad name. in-depth
information and tests can help clear up existing prejudices
and skepticism. when we demonstrate, as we did on site in
South Africa, that this can all be accomplished without major
efforts, the people are completely amazed,” Schönfelder
says.
however, the use of liQui molY is not limited only to large
transmissions. the vehicles used in the mines now also benefit from the extra protection provided by liQui molY, and
this pays off. “we used to have to change the motor oil in
our excavators and dumpers every 250 hours, and now only
every 500 hours,” according to Graven. in the meantime,
more than a dozen mines in South Africa benefit from the
additional protection.
the company produces exclusively in Germany to ensure
the same quality worldwide. in the industrial sector it intends
to offer the same product quality as well as the same service as for automobiles. liQui molY believes that long-term
customer loyalty is the key to success. this is why we not
only sell the right products, but also provide customers the

Starke Leistung in Südbayern
Am Samstag, dem 6.10.2012 fand die mittlerweile 27. Auflage der ADAC-Kathrein Rallye
Rosenheim statt. Es fanden sich rund 80 Teilnehmer zusammen, um an dieser Veranstaltung, welche aus vier verschiedenen Wertungsprüfungen bestand, von denen es die ersten beiden jeweils doppelt zu befahren galt, teilzunehmen.
Da die Rallye in den letzten Jahren aus meist sehr
schnellen Passagen bestand und die Ausschreibung
keinen Schotteranteil versprach, entschied sich das
Rallyeteam Honke mit dem bärenstarken BMW M3
CSL anzureisen. Auf dem „heissen Sitz“ nahm dieses
Mal jedoch nicht Stammbeifahrer Benjamin Sauerborn, sondern Matthias Motschenbacher aus Weismain Platz, da sich Benjamin selbst als
Fahrer versuchte.
Aufgrund starker einheimischer Konkurrenz und der Tatsache, dass das Duo Honke/
Motschenbacher zum ersten Mal gemeinsam bei einer Rallye antrat, rechnete man sich
anfangs nicht sehr viel aus, sondern wollte problemlos
ins Ziel kommen.
Los ging es dann mit WP1, einer sehr schnellen, jedoch mit vielen Abzweigen gespickten Sprintprüfung,
die man allerdings vom Start weg etwas verschlief. Auf
der zweiten Prüfung, ebenfalls ein Sprint, welcher im
letzten Drittel mit vielen uneinsehbaren Kurven, beziehungsweise Kuppen äußerst anspruchsvoll war, erreichte man sofort die dritte Gesamtzeit.
Danach standen zwei Rundkurse auf dem Programm, die man recht ordentlich absolvieren konnte. Weil es keine Live-Zeiten gab und man nur die ungenauen selbst-gestoppten
Zeiten mit den anderen Teilnehmern vergleichen konnte, lag man nach diesen vier WP´s
gefühlsmäßig zwischen dem dritten und fünften Gesamtrang.
Nun galt es nochmals die ersten beiden Sprintprüfungen
zu befahren. Konnte man auf der fünften Sonderprüfung
die Zeit aus dem ersten Durchgang gleich um vier Sekunden unterbieten, fuhr man auf der letzten Wertungsprüfung die selbe Zeit wie zuvor auf WP 2. Grund hierfür war
der viele Dreck auf der Strecke, welcher von den Teilnehmern im ersten Durchgang herausgefahren wurde.
Letztendlich hat es trotzdem zu einem ungefährdeten Klassensieg und einem höchst zufriedenstellenden dritten Gesamtrang, mit nur 1.2 Sekunden Vorsprung auf den Viertplatzierten Roland Macht, gereicht.
