Description

Motul 6100 SAVE-CLEAN+ 5W-30 is a Technosynthese synthetic low-SAPS fuel-economy engine oil from the 6100 line, intended for Ford and Jaguar Land Rover petrol and diesel engines that need an ACEA C1 oil, and for Mazda diesels with a particulate filter.

The oil is rated ACEA C1. The data sheet lists no official approvals: it meets the requirements of Ford WSS-M2C934-B and Jaguar Land Rover STJLR.03.5005 without formal approval. It is compatible with particulate filters and catalytic converters.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 10.8 mm²/s at 100 °C, HTHS 3.3 mPa·s, sulphated ash 0.40 %. Available in 5 litres.

It is not suitable for the later-generation Mazda SKYACTIV-D 2.2 diesel, which needs a different ACEA category.

Application

Ford and Jaguar Land Rover petrol and diesel engines where the maker requires an ACEA C1 oil, and Mazda diesels with a particulate filter, except the later-generation SKYACTIV-D 2.2.

Worth knowing

Without the “+” in the name, it is a different oil. Motul 6100 SAVE-CLEAN 5W-30 has ACEA C2 and API SN and meets the requirements of Fiat 9.55535-S1, and its sulphated ash is 0.80 % against 0.40 % for this ACEA C1 oil. So wherever ACEA C1 is specified, the can without the plus does not carry the required class.

The same Ford WSS-M2C934-B and JLR STJLR.03.5005 that this oil merely meets are held as official approvals by Motul 8100 ECO-CLEAN+ 5W-30, of the same ACEA C1 class and 5W-30 viscosity grade. The figures are close: HTHS 3.2 mPa·s against 3.3 and ash 0.43 % against 0.40 %; ECO-CLEAN+ also has the JASO DL-1 class. The main difference is who confirms the code: an approval is issued by Ford and JLR, whereas “meets the requirements” is claimed only by the oil maker. Which ACEA class 934-B is based on and how it differs from the other Ford codes is covered in the article on Ford WSS approvals.
