Purpose and Specifications

MOTUL 8100 X-CLEAN 5W40 is a premium 100% synthetic engine oil in a massive 208L drum, perfect for workshops servicing fleets of modern cars. The 5W40 viscosity flows smoothly at cold starts down to -39°C for quick protection, while staying thick and strong up to 234°C under extreme heat and high RPMs. It delivers outstanding wear protection, reduces engine friction, and controls oil consumption in powerful turbocharged gasoline or diesel engines.

Approved for top brands including BMW LL-04, Mercedes 229.51, Porsche A40, VW 502.00/505.00/505.01, Ford WSS-M2C917A, Renault RN0700, and GM Dexos 2, it's fully compatible with catalytic converters and Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF). This mid-SAPS formula keeps emissions systems clean without sacrificing lubrication power.

When to Use / Replace?

Use in Euro 4, 5, or 6 compliant vehicles with direct injection or turbo engines for daily driving, track days, or heavy towing. Ideal for high-performance cars from BMW, VW, Porsche, Mercedes, and Renault needing ACEA C3 oils. Replace every 10,000-15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, based on manufacturer intervals—check your owner's manual. Shelf life is 3-5 years if stored cool and sealed.

Key Practical Benefits:

• Protects against wear during cold mornings and hot track sessions
• Keeps pistons and turbos clean for longer engine life
