Purpose and Specifications

MOTUL 6100 SYNERGIE+ 10W-40 is a high-performance synthetic engine oil designed for both gasoline and diesel engines in modern cars. Whether your vehicle has a naturally aspirated engine, turbocharged engine, or direct injection system, this oil delivers reliable protection and performance.

This oil works with all fuel types including unleaded gasoline, diesel, ethanol, LPG, and biofuels. It meets strict international standards including ACEA A3/B4 and API SN/CF, ensuring your engine stays clean and protected against wear.

Key Benefits:

• Reduces engine friction, which improves fuel economy by approximately 1.2% compared to standard 15W-40 oils
• Keeps your engine cleaner by preventing soot and deposit buildup, especially important for direct injection diesel engines
• Protects against oxidation and corrosion, extending engine life
• Maintains consistent viscosity at high temperatures, protecting turbocharged and high-performance engines
• Compatible with catalytic converters, so it won't damage emissions systems

Approved for Major Manufacturers: Mercedes-Benz (MB 229.3), Volkswagen (501 01, 505 00), Renault (RN0710, RN0700), and PSA vehicles.

When to Use / Replace?

Follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended oil change interval, which typically ranges from 10,000 to 15,000 km (6,000 to 9,000 miles) or 6 to 12 months, whichever comes first. If you drive mostly in city traffic with frequent short trips, change your oil closer to the shorter interval. This oil's superior aging resistance means it can handle extended drain intervals if your vehicle's onboard computer approves it.

The 10W-40 viscosity grade is suitable for year-round use in most climates. The 10W rating means it flows easily in cold winter conditions (down to approximately -20°C), while the 40 rating maintains protection at high engine temperatures (up to approximately 100°C and beyond under load).

Store unopened bottles in a cool, dry place. Once opened, use within the same season for best results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I mix this oil with other brands?
A: Yes, MOTUL 6100 SYNERGIE+ 10W-40 can be mixed with other synthetic or mineral oils if necessary, though it's best to use the same brand and grade for consistency.

Q: Is this oil suitable for older engines?
A: This oil is specifically formulated for modern engines with direct injection, turbocharging, and catalytic converters. Always check your vehicle's owner manual to confirm compatibility, especially for engines older than 15 years.

Q: Why does this oil cost more than basic mineral oils?
A: The synthetic Technosynthese base stock provides superior protection, better fuel economy, longer drain intervals, and improved engine cleanliness. Over time, you save money through fewer oil changes and better fuel efficiency.
