Purpose and Specifications

MOTUL HYBRID 0W16 4L is a premium 100% synthetic engine oil crafted for hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), plug-in hybrids (PHEV), and battery electrics with range extender petrol engines. Its ultra-low viscosity flows instantly at cold starts down to -35°C, building oil pressure fast for smoother revs and quicker warm-up to operating temps around 100°C. This cuts friction, boosts fuel economy by up to 2-3% especially in short trips, and keeps pistons and rings spotless against deposits from frequent stop-start cycles.

Meets ACEA A3 and API SN standards for top anti-wear protection, LSPI prevention in turbo engines, and compatibility with catalysts and E85 fuel. 4-liter pack suits most hybrid sedans like Toyota Prius or Honda models. Mixes with synthetic or mineral oils.

When to Use / Replace?

• Use in: Modern hybrids with 0W-16 spec petrol engines, turbo or naturally aspirated, direct/indirect injection. Perfect for daily city driving with engine on/off patterns.
• Replace every: 10,000-15,000 km or 12 months, per manufacturer guidelines - its oxidation resistance supports extended intervals without thickening.
• Operating temps: Excels from -35°C cold starts to 150°C high-load, staying thin for efficiency yet protective.
• Shelf life: 5 years unopened in cool, dry storage.

FAQ

Is MOTUL HYBRID 0W16 safe for my Toyota hybrid? Yes, recommended for late-model Toyota and Honda hybrids specifying 0W-16 - delivers excellent cold starts, low consumption, and fuel savings.

Can I use it in non-hybrid cars? Best for hybrids due to stop-start demands, but suitable for any modern petrol engine calling for 0W-16 fuel economy oil.

Does it reduce emissions? Absolutely - lower friction means less fuel use and CO2 output, plus catalyst-friendly formula.
