Purpose and Specifications

MOTUL 8100 X-CLEAN+ 5W-30 5L is a high-performance 100% synthetic engine oil designed for modern diesel and gasoline engines meeting Euro 4, 5, or 6 emission standards. It features Mid SAPS formula with low sulfated ash (≤0.8%), phosphorus (0.07%-0.09%), and sulfur (≤0.3%) to protect catalytic converters (CAT) and diesel particulate filters (DPF).

Key specs include:

• Viscosity grade: SAE 5W-30 (flows easily at cold starts down to -30°C, maintains stability up to 150°C)
• HTHS viscosity: 3.5 mPa.s at 150°C for high-temperature protection
• Viscosity at 100°C: 11.8 mm²/s
• Viscosity index: 167 for consistent performance across temperatures from -30°C to +150°C
• Standards: ACEA C3, API SP, BMW Longlife-04, Mercedes-Benz 229.51/229.52, Porsche C30, VW 504 00/507 00
• Perfect for latest BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, and VAG (VW, Audi, Seat, Skoda) vehicles

This 5L jug provides enough for most engine oil changes, typically 4-6L capacity.

When to Use / Replace?

Use MOTUL 8100 X-CLEAN+ 5W-30 in turbo diesel direct injection or gasoline engines requiring ACEA C3 oils with high HTHS. Ideal for normal to demanding conditions, including extended drain intervals up to 15,000-30,000 km or 12 months, but always check your vehicle manual.

Replace if oil life indicator signals, every 10,000-15,000 km for severe use (towing, city driving), or annually. Operates reliably from -30°C cold starts to 150°C engine temps. Shelf life is 5 years unopened in cool, dry storage.
