5W-30 8100 X Clean EFE Full Syn
TYPE OF USE
Advanced 100% Synthetic lubricant that provides at the same time High Protection and Fuel Economy.
Approved by BMW Group, GM (General Motors) Opel, and Mercedes for its Extra Fuel Economy property.
Specially designed for the latest generation cars, powered by Gasoline and Diesel engines, naturally
aspirated or turbo-charged, 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 Sulfur (≤ 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.

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 power loss.
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.
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.
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.
MOTUL 8100 X-clean EFE 5W-30 fulfils all the specifications of BMW Long Life-04 standard of the BMW
Group for BMW, MINI and ROLLS-ROYCE vehicles with no exceptions i.e. for models before 2019 and after
2019. For models up to 2019, i.e. until end of 2018 only, MOTUL 8100 X-clean 5W-40 can also be used.
In countries with relevant Diesel passenger car market shares e.g. Europe, the GM dexos2™ standard is
suitable for the whole range of GM-OPEL Diesel engines (including DPF versions) and Gasoline engines from
Model Year 2010. Also, GM-OPEL dexos2™ fully supersedes and replaces the previous GM specifications:
GM-LL-A-025 (Gasoline) and GM-LL-B-025 (Diesel).
OPEL/VAUXHALL being now part of PSA Groupe, the new Opel Vauxhall specification OV0401547 for
new generation engines has been released to replace GM dexos2 gen2 which will continue only at GM
and its related brands.
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 so-called
“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. This type of lubricant allows fuel consumption reduction and therefore reduces
greenhouse gases (CO2 ) emissions.
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.
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.
MOTUL 8100 X-clean EFE 5W-30 meets all these very demanding requirements for performance and
durability set by OEMs, including in particular the full compatibility to use bio fuels (when using biodiesel
at a mix ratio of up to 10% (Biodiesel – B10), or when using E85 (unleaded Gasoline containing 85% Ethanol)
for dexos2® standard.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Drain interval: according to manufacturers’ recommendations and tuned to your own use.
Do not mix with lubricants not ACEA C3 or ACEA C2 compliant.
Before using, always refer to the owner’s manual or handbook of the vehicle.
