Description

Motul 8100 POWER 5W-40 is a fully synthetic engine oil from the 8100 line, blended with esters in a formulation the maker derives from its motorsport oils. It is intended for tuned and powerful petrol and diesel car engines that run at high revs across a wide temperature range.

The oil is rated API SP; the data sheet lists no car-maker approvals.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 14.7 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 177, HTHS 3.9 mPa·s, pour point -48 °C, sulphated ash 0.79 %. Available in 1 to 60 litres.

It is designed for spirited road driving and track days rather than for extended manufacturer service intervals.

Application

Tuned and highly uprated petrol and diesel cars run across a wide range of revs and temperatures, including occasional track days, where an API SP 5W-40 oil is acceptable for the engine.
