Description

Motul 6100 SAVE-LITE 5W-30 is a synthetic fuel-saving engine oil from the 6100 range, built on a Technosynthese base, for modern petrol and petrol-hybrid engines. It protects against low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI), which matters in turbocharged direct-injection engines.

The oil is rated API SP and ILSAC GF-6A; the data sheet lists no manufacturer approvals.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 10.5 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 156, HTHS viscosity 3.2 mPa·s, pour point -45 °C, sulphated ash 0.72 %. Available in 1 and 4 litre packs.

It is for petrol engines only.

Application

Modern petrol and petrol-hybrid engines where the manufacturer calls for an API SP or ILSAC GF-6A oil with an HTHS viscosity of at least 2.9 mPa·s.

Worth knowing

The 5W-30 marking in the 6100 range sits on oils with different high-temperature high-shear viscosity. Here HTHS is 3.2 mPa·s; in 6100 SAVE-CLEAN 5W-30, of ACEA class C2, it is 3 mPa·s, while in 6100 SYN-CLEAN 5W-30, class C3, and 6100 SYN-NERGY 5W-30, class A3/B4, it reaches 3.5 mPa·s. The article on the oil data sheet explains where the HTHS limits for the ACEA classes lie and why a higher figure does not by itself make a better oil.

SAVE-LITE has no ACEA class at all. If a manual requires ACEA A5/B5 alongside API SP, the 6100 range offers that pair in Motul 6100 SAVE-NERGY 5W-30, with HTHS 3.4 mPa·s and sulphated ash of 1.32 % against 0.72 % here; its entry has no ILSAC GF-6A. The North American Ford and Chrysler MS-6395 codes for 5W-30 appear, for example, in 8100 ECO-LITE 5W-30 and 8100 ECO-LITE GEN3 5W-30, both with the status “meets the requirements”. GM dexos1 Gen 3 is an official approval for the second of them, while the first only meets its requirements.
