technology, specifically designed for powerful and recent cars fitted with large displacement engines,
Gasoline or Diesel, direct or indirect injection, with or without turbo.
Multipurpose product featuring numerous car maker approvals, especially recommended for vehicles
still under warranty.
Suitable for all type of fuels: Gasoline, Diesel, LPG, CNG and Biofuels.
Compatible for catalytic converters.
If in doubt, before use, refer to the owner manual or handbook of the vehicle.
PERFORMANCES
The MERCEDES MB 229.5 standard is more stringent than 229.3 in terms of oil ageing and oil film resistance
(extended drain interval: on-board computer), detergent/dispersant power (ACEA B4) and requests fuel
economy performance: 1.7% fuel economy improvement versus a 15W-40 reference. The specification
MB 229.5 applies to all MERCEDES Gasoline engines, including AMG and except SLR, and to all
MERCEDES Diesel without DPF engines.
The Porsche A40 standard requires extreme high shear resistance from the lubricant. This specification
applies to all PORSCHE engines, except Cayenne V6 and Diesel versions (forthese specific engines, use
an approved Porsche C30 lubricant such as MOTUL 8100 X-clean+ 5W-30).
The VW 502 00 and 505 00 standards are specially designed for vehicles of the VAG group (VOLKSWAGEN,
AUDI, SKODA and SEAT) running on fixed oil drain intervals (15,000 km in Europe), fitted with Diesel engines,
without Unit Pump Injector (Volkswagen PD), without Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), or Gasoline engines.
The FORD WSSM2C937-A specification requires an extra high oil film resistance for the lubricant to
guarantee the viscosity capability over the whole oil drain interval even in severe and extreme conditions
(sustained and sport driving,…). This specification applies to all FORD Focus RS 2.5L Turbo Duratec
vehicles from MY2008.
MOTUL 8100 X-max 0W-40 meets the performance of the BMW Long Life-01 standard from the BMW
Group for BMW, MINI and ROLLS-ROYCE vehicles until the model year 2019 i.e. up to End of 2018 only.
For models from 2019 onward requiring an approved BMW LL-01 lubricant, products such as MOTUL
8100 X-Cess 5W-30 or MOTUL 8100 X-Cess GEN2 5W-40 must be used.
The FIAT 9.55535-M2, N2 and Z2 performance levels impose the engine oil to combine both ACEA A3/B4
standard and 0W-40 viscosity grade in order to perfectly lubricate most of the Gasoline and Diesel engines
of FIAT, ALFA-ROMEO, and LANCIA produced before July 2007, especially Twin Turbo Diesel engines
(FIAT 9.55535-Z2). The MS-12991 performance level mirrors these FIAT specifications for CHRYSLER vehicles.
MOTUL 8100 X-max 0W-40 meets all these very demanding requirements of performance and durability
set by OEMs, as well as the latest level of international standard API.
The API SN standard requires from the lubricant performance an outstanding detergent/dispersant power,
a better viscosity increase resistance against deposits, and high lubricating properties such as wear
protection and high temperature resistance for better controlled oil consumption and perfect engine
protection over the oil drain interval.
The viscosity grade SAE 0W-40 minimizes oil hydrodynamic friction, allowing fuel economy especially
when oil is cold. Improves oil flow at start up, faster oil pressure build up, faster rev raisings and faster
operating temperature reach. Environment friendly, this type of oil allows fuel consumption reduction and
therefore minimizes greenhouse gases (CO2 ) emissions.
Numerous OEMs such as NISSAN, JAGUAR, LAND-ROVER, etc… recommend using a lubricant with 0W-40
viscosity grade and at least API SM for most of their sporty vehicles like for example the NISSAN GT-R,
370Z, 350Z,…
MOTUL 8100 X-max 0W-40 formulation is the perfect balance between fuel economy linked to its viscosity
grade and outstanding lubrication performance (high HTHS > 3.5 mPa.s).
RECOMMENDATIONS
Drain interval: refer to manufacturers’ recommendations and tune to your own use.
MOTUL 8100 X-max 0W-40 can be mixed with synthetic or mineral oils.
Before use always refer to the owner manual or handbook of the vehicle.
