Description
Advanced Technosynthese® lubricant for High Performance and High Protection.
Recommended by FORD, GM, MERCEDES, RENAULT, and VAG (Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, and Seat).
Specially designed for the latest generation cars, powered by Gasoline and Diesel engines, naturally aspirated or turbocharged, indirect or direct injection, Euro 4, 5, or 6 emission regulation compliant, and requiring an ACEA C3 engine oil (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%).
Compatible with catalytic converters (CAT) and Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF).
Always refer to the owner’s manual if in doubt.
Performances
- Standards: ACEA C3
- API SERVICE: SN
- PERFORMANCES: BMW LL-04 (For model year up to End of 2018 only), FORD WSS-M2C917-A, GENERAL MOTORS GM dexos2™ (replaces GM-LL-A-025 & B-025), MERCEDES-BENZ MB 229.51, RENAULT RN0710 – RN0700, VW 505 00 505 01
- Engines compliant with Euro 4, 5, and 6 emission regulations are fitted with sensitive exhaust gas after-treatment systems. Sulfur and Phosphorus inhibit catalytic converters’ operation, leading to inefficient exhaust gas treatment, while Sulfated Ash clogs DPFs, shortening regenerating cycles, quickening oil aging, increasing fuel consumption, and causing engine power loss.
- The ACEA C3 standard requires significant oil film resistance and low emission performance for powerful engines.
- MOTUL 6100 SYN-clean 5W-40 combines Technosynthese® synthetic base stocks with specific friction modifier molecules and dedicated SAPS levels that generate outstanding oil film resistance, reduce engine friction, and ensure compatibility with after-treatment devices. It offers high lubricating properties, wear protection, and high-temperature resistance for better-controlled oil consumption. ACEA C3 lubricants achieve extended drain intervals managed by vehicles’ onboard computers.
- Numerous OEMs such as KIA / HYUNDAI, HONDA, MITSUBISHI, NISSAN, SUZUKI, SSANGYONG, TOYOTA recommend an ACEA C3 lubricant for most of their vehicles, especially Diesels with DPF.
- MOTUL 6100 SYN-clean 5W-40 meets the BMW Long Life-04 standard for BMW, MINI, and ROLLS-ROYCE vehicles up to model year 2019 (End of 2018 only). For models from 2019 onward requiring an approved BMW LL-04 lubricant, use products such as MOTUL 8100 X-Clean+ 5W-30, MOTUL 8100 X-Clean EFE 5W-30, MOTUL 8100 X-Clean Gen2 5W-40, or Specific LL-04 5W-40.
- The FORD WSS-M2C917-A standard is required for FORD Galaxy 1.9L TDI until MY2006 and for FORD Ka from MY2008.
- In countries with significant Diesel passenger car market shares (e.g., Europe), the GENERAL MOTORS dexos2® standard covers the entire range of GM Diesel engines (including DPF versions) and most Gasoline engines from Model Year 2010. It fully supersedes and replaces the former GM specifications: GM-LL-A-025 (Gasoline) and GM-LL-B-025 (Diesel).
- The MB 229.51 specification requires the lubricant to have reduced content of Sulfated Ash, Phosphorus, and Sulfur to be compatible with MERCEDES exhaust gas after-treatment systems. It applies to some MERCEDES Gasoline engines and all MERCEDES Diesel engines, with or without DPF (except for BlueTEC engines with SCR; in this case, use a MB 229.52 lubricant such as MOTUL SPECIFIC 229.52 5W-30 or MOTUL 8100 X-CLEAN EFE 5W-30).
- RENAULT has developed the RN0700 and RN0710 standards for oils capable of enduring severe thermal constraints and compatible with modern after-treatment systems.
- The Renault RN0700 standard applies to all Naturally Aspirated Gasoline engines (except Renault Sport) of RENAULT Group (Renault, Dacia, Samsung) and to RENAULT Diesel cars fitted with 1.5L dCi engines without DPF, having less than 100 hp output and a 20,000 km or 1-year oil drain interval.
- The Renault RN0710 standard applies to all Turbocharged Gasoline, Renault Sport, and Diesel engines without DPF of RENAULT Group (Renault, Dacia, Samsung). It does not apply to RENAULT Diesel cars fitted with 1.5L dCi engines without DPF and having less than 100 hp output and a 20,000 km or 1-year oil drain interval, which specifically require an RN0700 lubricant. For the 2.2L dCi with DPF, use only an approved RN0710 lubricant, not RN0720.
- Specifications VW 505 00 and VW 505 01 require high detergent/dispersant power, high oil film resistance, and better viscosity increase resistance due to soot to cover many old Diesel engines, especially Direct Injection Diesel engines (unit injector system, fixed oil drain interval, check owner’s manual).
- Attention: Do not use MOTUL 6100 SYN-Clean 5W-40 when a VW 504 00 or VW 507 00 lubricant is required. In that case, use MOTUL SPECIFIC 504 00 507 00 5W-30, MOTUL SPECIFIC 504 00 507 00 0W-30, or MOTUL 8100 X-CLEAN+ 5W-30.
Recommendations
- Drain interval: According to manufacturers’ recommendations and adjusted to your own use.
- Do not mix with lubricants not ACEA C3 compliant.
- Always refer to the owner manual or handbook of the vehicle.
