Engine Oil MOTUL 8100 X-CLEAN EFE C2/C3 5W-30 1L

MOTUL 8100 X-CLEAN EFE 5W-30 1L LIGHT DUTY OIL

Advanced 100% Synthetic lubricant that provides at the same time High Protection and Fuel Economy. Approved by numerous OEMs such as BMW Group, MERCEDES and OPEL for its EFE - Extra Fuel Economy - property. Specially designed for the latest generation cars, powered by Gasoline and Diesel engines, naturally aspirated or turbocharged, direct or indirect injection.
For vehicles that are Euro 4, 5 or 6 emission regulation compliant and require an ACEA C3 engine oil i.e. high HTHS (> 3.5 mPa.s) viscosity and "Mid SAPS" with reduced content of Sulfated Ash (≤0.8%), Phosphorus (0.07% ≤ x ≤ 0.09%) and Sulfur (≤ 0.3%), or an ACEA C2 engine oil i.e. a low friction, low HTHS (≥ 2.9 mPa.s) viscosity and "Mid SAPS" oil with reduced content of Sulfated Ash (≤ 0.8%), Phosphorus (≤ 0.09%) and Sulphur (≤ 0.3%).
Suitable when a "Fuel Economy" lubricant is required: ACEA C2 standard.
Compatible with catalytic converters (CAT) and Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF).
May be unsuitable for use in some engines. Always refer to the owner’s manual if in doubt.

STANDARDS AND APPROVALS:

Standards:

ACEA C2, C3

The ACEA C3 standard requires from the lubricant significant oil film resistance and low emission performance during use in powerful engines. The ACEA C2 standard requires significant reduction of friction to ensure gains in energy savings, and therefore fuel economy benefits. MOTUL 8100 X-CLEAN EFE 5W-30 has synthetic base stocks coupled with specific friction modifier molecules and dedicated SAPS levels that generate outstanding oil film resistance, reduce friction in the engine and provide after treatment device compatibility. MOTUL 8100 X-CLEAN EFE 5W-30 brings high lubricating properties such as wear protection and high temperature resistance for better controlled oil consumption. ACEA C2 and C3 lubricants achieve extended drain intervals as managed by the vehicle on-board computer.

Approvals:

BMW LL-04

The BMW Long Life-04 specification imposes severe constraints to the lubricant particularly due to Valvetronic and after treatment systems compatibility. It covers all BMW engines from 2004 and also all BMW engines before 2004. BMW LL-04 covers all the previous BMW specifications like BMW LL-98 and BMW LL-01. ATTENTION: BMW LL-04 product can be used for gasoline engines only in European Union countries, Switzerland, Norway and Liechtenstein. Outside those countries, a BMW LL-01 lubricant such as MOTUL 8100 X-cess gen2 5W-40 is required. Refer to BMW recommendations when in doubt.

MERCEDES-BENZ MB-Approval 229.52

MERCEDES has developed MB 229.52 standard for all “BlueTEC” Diesel engines fitted with SCR (Selective Catalyst Reduction) allowing NOx treatment through the use of AdBlue® additive or socalled “diesel exhaust fluid”. MB 229.52 specification is fully backward compatible with MB 229.51 and MB 229.31 specifications for all Mercedes Diesel engines with or without DPF and some Gasoline engines. MB 229.52 standard also requires improved cold flow properties to reduce hydrodynamic friction of the oil, in order to obtain fuel economy especially when the oil is cold. This extra requirement for cold flow properties allows excellent oil flow at start up, faster oil pressure build up, faster revs raisings and faster operating temperature reach.

OPEL/VAUXHALL OV 040 1547 - G30, OV 040 1547 - D30

OPEL/VAUXHALL being now part of PSA Groupe, the new Opel Vauxhall specifications OV 040 1547 – G30 (gasoline) and D30 (Diesel), for new generation engines requiring viscosity grade 30 lubricant, have been released to replace GM dexos1 gen2 and GM dexos2 gen2 which will continue only at GM and its related brands.

BENEFITS AND PERFORMANCE:

Performance:

FIAT 9.55535-S1, 9.55535-S3

The FIAT 9.55535-S1 performance level requires the engine oil to combine both ACEA C2 and 5W-30 in order to lubricate the Diesel 1.3L, 1.6L and 2.0L Multijet engines of FIAT, ALFA-ROMEO, LANCIA and CHRYSLER produced from 2007.
The FIAT 9.55535-S3 performance level requires the engine oil to combine both ACEA C3 and 5W-30 in order to lubricate the Diesel 2.2L, 2.8L and 3.0L Multijet and CRD engines of FIAT, ALFA-ROMEO, LANCIA and JEEP produced from 2011.

VW 505 00 505 01

VW 505 01 specification requires outstanding detergent/dispersant power, high oil film resistance and better viscosity increase resistance (due to soot) in order to cover most Direct Injection Diesel engines (unit injector system, fixed oil drain interval, check owner’s manual). Attention, do not use MOTUL 8100 X-CLEAN EFE 5W-30 when a VW 504 00 or VW 507 00 lubricant is required, in that case use MOTUL SPECIFIC 504 00 507 00 5W-30 or 0W-30, or MOTUL 8100 X-CLEAN + 5W-30.

Benefícios:

Engines compliant with Euro 4, 5 and 6 emission regulations are fitted with sensitive exhaust gas after treatment systems. Indeed, Sulfur and Phosphorus inhibit catalytic converter operation leading to inefficient exhaust gas treatment. Also, Sulfated Ashes clog DPFs leading to shorten regenerating cycles, quick oil aging, higher fuel consumption and engine lost. 
Numerous Asian OEMs such as HONDA, KIA / HYUNDAI, MITSUBISHI, NISSAN, SUBARU, SUZUKI, SSANGYONG, TOYOTA,… recommend an ACEA C2 or C3 lubricant to guarantee the maximum performance and durability for most of their recent vehicles (since 2006), especially Diesels with DPF.
This type of lubricant allows fuel consumption reduction and therefore reduces greenhouse gases (CO2 ) emissions.

TECHNICAL RECOMMENDATIONS:

Change interval: according to the manufacturer's recommendations and specific conditions of use.
Do not mix with lubricants not ACEA C3 or ACEA C2 compliant.
Before use or in case of doubt, always consult the vehicle owner's or maintenance manual.
