Motul 8100 X-Lite 0W-30 – 100% Synthetic – Ester Based Engine Oil 

This 100% synthetic engine oil has been formulated, developed and tested according to the most recent technical requirements. It largely exceeds the stringent specified engine performance limits required by the European, Asian and US car manufacturers. Specifically designed for the latest Direct Injection Diesel or High Performance Gasoline engines.  Perfectly formulated for our varying extreme cold climates. The ester based X-Lite remains perfectly fluid even down to -50 C for maximum protection during the coldest winter starts.

Performance Rating:

Standards: ACEA A3 / B4

Manufacturer Approvals: VW 502.00 / 505.00 / 503.01, Mercedes-Benz 229.3
Performance: BMW LL-098

The ACEA B4 standard requests an outstanding detergent/dispersant power and a better viscosity increase resistance due to soot needed for a perfect lubrication of the latest generation Direct Injection Diesel engines (except for VW unit injector engines requiring Motul Specific 505.01 5W-40).

The VW 503.01 standard requires concurrently low volatility, highly efficient lubricant, friction reduction, high resistance at high temperature met in modern engines allowing extended drain intervals managed by the on board computer.

The Mercedes-Benz 229.3 standard is more stringent than 229.1 in terms of ageing resistance calling for extended drain intervals managed by the on board computer; detergent / dispersant power (see above ACEA B4) and fuel economy improvement of 1.2% versus a reference 15W-40.
