Purpose and Specifications

MOTUL 112926 is a premium engine oil designed for modern passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. This 5W-40 viscosity oil flows easily in cold winter conditions (down to -30°C) while maintaining protective thickness at normal engine operating temperatures (up to 100°C+). The 4-liter container is ideal for standard oil changes.

This oil meets strict international standards including ACEA A3/B4 (European specification) and API SN (American specification), ensuring compatibility with engines from major manufacturers. It is specifically approved for BMW, Chrysler, Fiat, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen, and PSA vehicles.

Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Unopened containers remain stable for 5 years.
