Description

Motul HYBRID 0W-16 is a fully synthetic engine oil from the Hybrid line for the petrol engines of hybrid and plug-in hybrid passenger cars, and for the generator engines that extend the range of electric cars.

According to the technical data sheet, the oil meets API SN; no car-maker approvals are listed.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 7.1 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 160, HTHS 2.3 mPa·s, pour point -42 °C, base number 8.5 mg KOH/g, sulphated ash 0.89 %. Available in 1 and 4 litres.

Use it only in engines for which the manufacturer specifies 0W-16.

Application

Petrol engines in hybrid and plug-in hybrid cars, and petrol range-extender engines in electric cars, where the manufacturer (Honda, Toyota, Suzuki) specifies an SAE 0W-16 oil.

Worth knowing

If your car’s manual specifies API SQ or ILSAC GF-7B for 0W-16, those codes are not here: the data sheet stops at API SN, and without the Resource Conserving mark at that. API recognises SN only for engines of model year 2020 and older; the article on API SN, SQ and ILSAC GF-7 covers what the newer levels added and how the GF-7B “shield” differs from the “starburst”.

Of the Motul 0W-16 oils in the catalogue, only two have both codes. NGEN HYBRID 0W-16 is slightly thicker (7.6 mm²/s at 100 °C, HTHS 2.4 mPa·s) and has lower ash, 0.72 %. Closer to this oil in the figures is 8100 ECO-LITE 0W-16: 7.3 mm²/s instead of 7.1, the same HTHS of 2.3 mPa·s and the same base number of 8.5 mg KOH/g. Honda and Toyota are named in the data sheet, while Suzuki is added only by the product page.
