0W-16 8100 Eco Lite Full Syn
TYPE OF USE
100% Synthetic "Fuel economy" engine oil specially designed for recent gasoline engines, turbocharged
or naturally aspirated, direct or indirect injection, designed to use SAE 0W-16 oil with very low friction
and very low HTHS (High Temperature High Shear) viscosity (≥ 2.3 mPa.s).
Suitable for modern gasoline engines requiring a viscosity grade 16 and Fuel Economy lubricant (API
SP-RC, API SP and/or ILSAC GF-6b standards). Especially recommended for all new gasoline engines
requiring these specifications: HONDA, LEXUS, SUZUKI, TOYOTA...
Catalytic converter friendly.
This type of oil may be unsuitable for use in some engines. Refer to the owner manual if in doubt.

The API SP standard is fully backward compatible over API SN requirements and all former API
standards. The API SP-RC "Resource Conserving" specification is even more demanding on the
energy saving requirements.
API SP lubricants provide outstanding oxidation resistance, better anti-deposits protection, better engine
cleanliness, anti-wear protection and enhanced performance at cold temperature for Fuel Economy
savings during the whole oil life span. Besides being backward compatible, compare to API SN and
API SN Plus, the API SP standard provides higher performance and especially adds more protection
against LSPI phenomenon for downsized direct injection turbocharged gasoline engines.
Based on the API SP specification, the ILSAC GF-6b standard for viscosity grade 16 lubricants is even
more severe especially on the Fuel Economy benefits performance. The requirements on the low
viscosity "Fuel Economy" side of the lubricant, but also extended drain intervals, clean pistons/rings,
seals compatibility and reduced content of Phosphorus for after treatment systems compatibility are
enhanced. The ILSAC GF-6b specification also ensures perfect engine protection when gasoline
containing up to 85% Ethanol is used (E85).
Turbocharged gasoline engines with direct injection have a certain risk of sporadic pre-ignition
phenomena in the combustion chambers. This type of sporadic abnormal combustion resembles
metallic noise from combustion chambers and is sometimes associated with a short power loss. This
phenomenon called LSPI for Low Speed Pre-Ignition, or also Rumble, generates very high pressure
peaks in the combustion chamber that can lead to piston damages and ultimately to engine
destruction. For latest-generation downsized gasoline engines, which are equipped with direct injection
systems and turbochargers, the API SP standard for engine lubricants guarantees the perfect integrity
of these gasoline engines facing the risk of these abnormal combustions.
MOTUL 8100 Eco-lite 0W-16 meets all these very highly demanding requirements of performance and
durability including the full compatibility to biofuels use such as LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), CNG
(Compressed Natural Gas), and bioethanols (as available at the gas station), when using Ethanol
biofuels at a mix ratio of up to 85% (Bioethanol – E85).
Viscosity grade SAE 0W-16 seriously minimizes lubricant hydrodynamic friction, allows fuel economy
benefits especially when the oil is cold. Improves oil flow at start up, faster oil pressure build-up, faster
rev raisings and reach operating temperature faster. Environment friendly, this type of oil allows fuel
consumption reduction and therefore minimizes greenhouse gases (CO2) emissions.
RECOMMENDATION
Drain interval: according to manufacturers’ recommendations and tune to your own use.
Can be mixed with synthetic or mineral oils.
This type of oil may be unsuitable for use in some engines. Before use always refer to the owner
manual of the vehicle.
