Description
Motul 8100 ECO-NERGY 0W-30 is a full-SAPS, fully synthetic fuel-saving engine oil from the 8100 range. It is designed for petrol and diesel engines that need an ACEA A5/B5 oil, and the maker also recommends it for Honda, Volvo and Land Rover where that category is permitted.
It is rated ACEA A5/B5 and API SP. Official approvals cover Volvo VCC 95200377 and BMW Longlife-01 FE; it meets the requirements of MB 229.6 without formal approval.
Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 10.1 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 179, HTHS viscosity 3.1 mPa·s, pour point -45 °C, sulphated ash 1.04 %. Available in 1, 5, 20 and 60 litre packs.
It is unsuitable where a low-SAPS oil is specified.
Application
Petrol and diesel engines for which the manufacturer specifies ACEA A5/B5, above all Volvo and BMW models requiring Longlife-01 FE, and Mercedes-Benz where MB 229.6 is called for.
Worth knowing
This oil’s data sheet spells out which engines the Volvo and Mercedes-Benz codes in its list are tied to. Volvo VCC 95200377 requires ACEA A5/B5 combined with 0W-30 viscosity and applies to most naturally aspirated and turbocharged Volvo petrol engines of 2.0 to 4.4 litres built from 2004 onwards. MB 229.6, which the oil meets without approval, is likewise built on A5/B5; for it the data sheet names the petrol M 270, M 274 and M 276 series in the Mercedes-Benz A-, B- and C-Class, including some AMG models.
According to the data sheet of Motul 8100 X-MAX 0W-30, the other Volvo code, VCC 95200356, combines the same 0W-30 with ACEA A3/B4, and that oil’s HTHS is 3.6 mPa·s against 3.1 here. The same viscosity on the label does not make the two Volvo codes equivalent. The review of the current ACEA classes covers the HTHS limit of at least 3.5 mPa·s for A3/B4 and the lower viscosity of A5/B5.
