Description
Motul 6100 SAVE-LITE 5W-20 is a synthetic fuel-saving engine oil from the 6100 range, built on a Technosynthese base, for modern petrol engines designed for low HTHS viscosity. It protects against low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI).
The oil is rated API SP and ILSAC GF-6A. It holds no formal approvals: the maker states that it meets the requirements of Ford WSS-M2C945-A, Ford WSS-M2C945-B1, Ford WSS-M2C930-A, Ford WSS-M2C960-A1, GM 6094M, GM dexos1 Gen 2 and Chrysler MS-6395.
Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 8.4 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 168, HTHS viscosity 2.6 mPa·s, pour point -35 °C, sulphated ash 0.86 %. Available in 1, 4 and 208 litre packs.
Application
Modern petrol engines designed for low-HTHS oils, including many Ford, Chrysler and Asian models, where the manufacturer specifies 5W-20.
Worth knowing
This oil’s compliance list puts GM 6094M and GM dexos1 Gen 2 side by side, although the Motul data sheet itself explains that the dexos1 specification replaced 6094M and adds that it does not cover servicing of GM cars in Europe. Both codes have the status “meets the requirements” here. GM dexos1 Gen 2 is recorded as an official approval for Motul 8100 ECO-LITE GEN3 5W-20: same viscosity, newer classes, API SQ RC and ILSAC GF-7A, while its Ford and Chrysler MS-6395 codes have the same compliance status as here.
The numbers Ford WSS-M2C945-A, WSS-M2C945-B1 and WSS-M2C960-A1 belong to the brand’s North American series of codes, in which each number is tied to a single viscosity, in this case 5W-20. How this series relates to the European Ford codes, and why neither can stand in for the other, is set out in the article on Ford WSS approvals.
