Description

Motul 2100 POWER+ 10W-40 is a Technosynthese synthetic engine oil from the 2100 line with a full-SAPS additive package. It is intended for larger-displacement petrol and diesel car engines, naturally aspirated or turbocharged, and runs on petrol, ethanol blends, LPG, diesel and biofuels.

The oil is rated ACEA A3/B4 and API SL/CF. The data sheet lists no official approvals: it meets the requirements of MB 229.1H, PSA B71 2300, Renault RN0700, VW 501.01 and VW 505.00 without formal approval.

It is not suitable for engines that need a low-SAPS ACEA C oil. Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 14.5 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 151, pour point -35 °C. Available in 1 and 4 litres.

Application

Cars with larger-displacement petrol and diesel engines, turbocharged or not, with direct or port injection, where the maker requires a full-SAPS ACEA A3/B4 oil.

Worth knowing

2100 POWER+ only claims to meet VW 501.01 and VW 505.00. As official approvals, in the same viscosity and ACEA A3/B4 class, they belong to Motul 6100 SYNERGIE+ 10W-40, which adds the MB 229.3 and Renault RN0710 approvals and the API SN class. 4100 TURBOLIGHT 10W-40 also holds VW 501.01, VW 505.00 and MB 229.3, again as a 10W-40 with A3/B4.

A separate caution in the 2100 POWER+ data sheet concerns VW diesels with unit injectors. In explaining the B4 class for direct-injection diesels, the data sheet makes an exception for exactly these engines and names another oil for them, Motul SPECIFIC 505 01 502 00 5W-40. VW has its own standard for them, VW 505.01, in 5W-40; what each standard from VW 500.00 to 507.00 means is explained in the article on VW approvals.
