Description
Motul 8100 X-POWER 10W-60 is a fully synthetic engine oil from the 8100 line that maintains a strong oil film under high thermal load. It is intended for highly uprated petrol engines, whether naturally aspirated, supercharged or turbocharged, whose makers specify a 10W-60 viscosity.
It is rated ACEA A3/B4 and API SP. It meets the requirements of Fiat 9.55535-H3 without official approval; the data sheet lists no other approvals.
Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 23.6 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 183, HTHS 5.8 mPa·s, pour point -33 °C, base number 12.5 mg KOH/g. Available in 1 to 208 litres.
It is designed for sports cars and track days where 10W-60 is specifically prescribed.
Application
Highly uprated petrol engines, naturally aspirated, supercharged or turbocharged, for which the manufacturer specifies 10W-60, including Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Maserati and Lotus cars.
Worth knowing
According to the Motul data sheet, the Fiat 9.55535-H3 code sets two conditions at once: ACEA A3/B4 and 10W-60 viscosity. It is intended for some high-output Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Lancia engines, mainly petrol V6s, and this oil meets both conditions. The range of makes for which Motul recommends it is wider than the Fiat group: the data sheet names, among others, the Audi R8 5.2L GT with the CMPA engine, BMW M models, Aston Martin, Jaguar and TVR. The same document allows it to be mixed with synthetic and mineral oils and permits it in diesels with demanding oil requirements.
The brand’s other 10W-60, 300V LE MANS, declares neither ACEA nor API, so it does not cover an A3/B4 or H3 entry in the manual. The article on what the Fiat codes on the can mean explains why the suffix after 9.55535 cannot be swapped for another even when the ACEA class is the same.
