Purpose and Specifications

MOTUL 8100 X-CESS 5W40 is a 100% synthetic engine oil built for powerful modern cars with gasoline or diesel engines, including turbocharged and direct injection models. Its 5W40 viscosity flows easily during cold starts down to -30°C and stays thick under extreme heat up to 150°C, delivering superior anti-wear protection that extends engine life and boosts power responsiveness.
