Purpose and Specifications

MOTUL 8100 X-CLEAN+ 5W30 is a high-performance 100% synthetic engine oil built for modern diesel and gasoline engines in cars from BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, and VW group (like Audi, Seat, Skoda). It protects catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters (DPF) while delivering strong wear protection and temperature stability from -30°C cold starts to over 150°C high-heat operation.

This oil flows easily when cold for quick engine protection on startup, stays thick under extreme heat to prevent wear, and reduces friction for smoother running and better fuel efficiency. Perfect for Euro 4, 5, or 6 compliant engines needing ACEA C3 specs.

When to Use / Replace?

• Use it if: Your car manual calls for ACEA C3 oil, high HTHS viscosity, or Mid SAPS formula to safeguard emissions systems. Ideal for turbocharged or high-performance engines running daily commutes or spirited drives.
• Replace every: 10,000-15,000 km (6,000-9,000 miles) or 12 months, following your manufacturer's guidelines. Frequent drivers change every 5,000-6,500 km (3,000-4,000 miles) for peak cleaning and protection.
