Description

Motul 8100 ECO-LITE 0W-16 is a fully synthetic ultra-low-viscosity engine oil from the 8100 range. It is designed for modern petrol and hybrid engines whose manufacturer explicitly specifies the 0W-16 grade, above all Toyota, Lexus, Honda and Suzuki.

The oil is rated API SQ RC and ILSAC GF-7B; the data sheet lists no manufacturer approvals.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 7.3 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 159, HTHS viscosity 2.3 mPa·s, pour point -42 °C, sulphated ash 0.85 %. Available in a 5 litre pack.

It is unsuitable for engines designed for thicker oils and should be used only where the manufacturer permits 0W-16.

Application

Modern petrol and hybrid engines for which the manufacturer specifies SAE 0W-16, mainly Toyota, Lexus, Honda and Suzuki.

Worth knowing

The ILSAC GF-7B “shield” is put only on 0W-16 oils, and the data sheet ties this oil specifically to engines designed for this viscosity and for an HTHS of 2.3 mPa·s or more. Its own typical HTHS matches that limit: 2.3 mPa·s. Motul lists Honda, Lexus, Suzuki and Toyota as recommendations, not approvals, and before filling up refers readers to the car’s manual, because this type of oil may not suit some engines.

Among the Motul 0W-16 oils in the catalogue, only Motul NGEN HYBRID 0W-16 also has both codes, API SQ RC and ILSAC GF-7B. On typical figures it is slightly thicker, 7.6 mm²/s at 100 °C against 7.3 and HTHS 2.4 mPa·s, while its sulphated ash is lower, 0.72 % against 0.85 %. For Motul HYBRID 0W-16 the catalogue gives only API SN, and for 300V POWER 0W-16 no classes at all. The article on what API SQ and ILSAC GF-7 on the can mean explains how the “shield” differs from the GF-7A “starburst” and why it does not signal higher quality.
