Purpose and Specifications

MOTUL 8100 X-MAX 0W30 5L is a 100% synthetic engine oil built for powerful modern cars with big gasoline or diesel engines, including turbocharged ones. Its 0W30 viscosity flows instantly at cold starts down to -35°C, cutting wear and reaching full operating temps up to 150°C faster for better protection and fuel savings.

Approved for Mercedes (MB 229.5), VW (502.00/505.00), Volvo, and meeting ACEA A3/B4 plus API SL standards, it delivers strong cleaning power to fight sludge and deposits while shielding against wear in high-stress conditions. Perfect for vehicles under warranty needing full SAPS protection.

• Fast cold starts: Pumps quickly at low temps, reducing engine drag
• Hot weather durability: Stays thick at high temps for turbo and big engine safety
• Fuel efficient: Lowers consumption vs thicker oils like 15W-40
• 5L size: Ideal for standard oil changes

When to Use / Replace?

Use in high-performance cars with large engines running daily commutes or spirited drives. Swap every 10,000-15,000 km or 12 months, or sooner if towing heavy loads or in extreme heat/cold—always check your owner's manual. Shelf life is 5 years unopened in cool, dry storage.
