Motul 8100 X-cess Gen 2 5W-40 Synthetic Engine Oil - 5 Liter Jug (Case of 4)

Specifically designed for powerful and recent cars fitted with high displacement engines, gasoline direct injection, and turbo Diesel and catalytic converters, this product has numerous car maker approvals, making it a multi-purpose solution that is especially recommended when the car is under warranty. Suitable for leaded or unleaded gasoline, diesel fuels, and LPG, the OPEL/GM diesel LL B-025 standard requires two main properties from the lubricant: high HTHS and very low volatility to drastically decrease oil consumption.

Motul 8100 X-cess 5W-40 is particularly recommended for OPEL 2.0 and 2.2 DTI engines, with an extended drain interval by computer on board. The ACEA B4 performance requires an outstanding detergent/dispersent power and a better viscosity increase resistance due to soot produced by direct Injection diesel engines (except VW unit injector engines that require MOTUL Specific 505.01 5W-40). The MB 229.3 standard is more stringent than 229.1 in terms of ageing resistance (extended drain interval by computer on board), detergent/dispersent power (ACEA B4), and requests fuel economy performance, where a 1.2 percentage fuel economy improvement versus a 15W-40 reference is required.

Motor oil is made from crude oil and is used to lubricate, clean, and cool engines. Types of motor oil include conventional, synthetic, diesel, bio-based, hybrid (blends of conventional and synthetic), and recycled oils. Motor oil varies in weight and viscosity, as well as additives that some manufacturers add to the oil during the refining process. A numerical code system created by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) grades motor oils according to viscosity--the higher the number between 0 and 60, the more viscous (thicker) the oil is. Most consumer motor oils are graded by two numbers, with the first number indicating cold weather (Winter or "W") performance. This oil has a weight of SAE 5W-40, meaning it has an SAE viscosity rating of 5 in cold temperatures and a rating of 40 at normal operating temperature. Always check your vehicle's owner's manual to verify that this is the correct weight of motor oil for your vehicle.

This oil is a full synthetic oil, meaning crude oil is not used in making it. Synthetic oil can be used in vehicle engines instead of motor oils refined from crude oil, and often provides superior mechanical performance over traditional motor oil, including increased gas mileage and reduced engine wear at extreme temperatures. Its complex method of production means it can often cost more than conventional motor oil. For best performance, follow the manufacturer's recommendations in your vehicle owner's manual.
