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 powerful modern engines. Its 5W40 viscosity flows smoothly at cold starts down to -30°C for quick protection, while maintaining thickness under extreme heat to control oil consumption and reduce friction.

Approved for top brands like BMW LL-04, Mercedes MB 229.52, Renault RN0700/RN0710, Porsche C40, VW 511.00, GM Dexos2, and Fiat specs, it's perfect for gasoline or diesel engines with turbochargers, direct injection, catalytic converters, and DPF filters. This mid-SAPS formula keeps emissions systems clean without sacrificing engine power.

• Key Benefits: Outstanding film strength prevents metal-on-metal contact, cleaner pistons and valves for longevity, extended drain intervals up to 20,000 km or 12 months per vehicle computer.
• Shelf life: 5 years unopened in cool, dry storage.

When to Use / Replace?

Use in last-generation Euro 4-6 cars with high-performance engines needing ACEA C3 oils. Ideal for daily drives, track days, or towing where engines hit high temps.

Replace every 10,000-20,000 km or 12 months, or follow your dashboard oil life monitor. Check levels monthly; top up if low to avoid dry starts.
