Purpose and Specifications

MOTUL 8100 X-CLEAN GEN2 5W40 is a premium 100% synthetic engine oil that delivers superior wear protection and stays strong up to 150°C in high-heat conditions from turbocharged engines. Its 5W40 viscosity flows smoothly at cold starts down to -30°C for quick lubrication, while maintaining thickness during intense driving to cut friction and control oil burn.

Approved for demanding specs like RENAULT RN0700/RN0710, MB 229.52, BMW LL-04, GM DEXOS 2, PORSCHE C40, and VW 511.00, it protects modern gasoline and diesel engines with direct injection, turbochargers, catalytic converters, and DPF filters. The mid-SAPS formula keeps emissions systems clean without sacrificing engine power.

• Extreme temperature protection: Handles -30°C startups and 150°C+ operating heat
• Extended drain intervals: Up to 20,000 km or 12 months per vehicle computer
• 5L volume perfect for most European cars needing 5-7L fills
• Shelf life: 5 years unopened in cool, dry storage

When to Use / Replace?
