Description

Motul 8100 X-CLEAN+ 5W-30 is a fully synthetic mid-SAPS engine oil from the 8100 line. It is intended for Euro 4-6 petrol and diesel engines, above all in cars from the VW Group, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche.

It is rated ACEA C3 and holds official VW 504.00, VW 507.00, BMW Longlife-04, MB 229.51 and Porsche C30 approvals. It is compatible with particulate filters and catalytic converters and suits flexible extended drain intervals wherever the manufacturer's approval allows them.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 11.8 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 167, HTHS 3.5 mPa·s, pour point -36 °C, base number 6.7 mg KOH/g, sulphated ash 0.68 %. Available in 1 to 208 litres.

Application

Euro 4-6 petrol and diesel engines, chiefly in VW Group, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche cars, where the manufacturer requires VW 504.00 and VW 507.00 or an equivalent low-SAPS oil.

Worth knowing

The country caveat in the X-CLEAN+ data sheet concerns petrol BMWs: an oil with Longlife-04 is permitted for them only in the European Union, Switzerland, Norway and Liechtenstein. Anywhere else, such engines need a BMW Longlife-01 oil, and as an example Motul names 8100 X-CESS GEN2 5W-40, an ACEA A3/B4 oil. The document sets no model-year limit for this oil: it meets the Longlife-04 requirements for BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce cars built both before and after 2019, whereas 8100 X-CLEAN 5W-40 is allowed only for models up to the end of 2018.

With the same 5W-30 viscosity, ACEA C3 class and BMW Longlife-04 approval, the range includes Motul 8100 X-CLEAN EFE 5W-30, but its other codes differ: MB 229.52 instead of MB 229.51, only meets-the-requirements status for VW 505.00 and VW 505.01, and no VW 504.00, VW 507.00 or Porsche C30. According to the X-CLEAN+ data sheet, Porsche introduced the C30 specification for all its diesels and for the petrol V6 in the Cayenne. The overview of VW approvals explains which VAG engines the VW 504.00 and VW 507.00 pair is meant for and which ones call for VW 505.01.
