Description

Motul HYBRID 0W-20 is a fully synthetic, fuel-saving engine oil from the Hybrid line. It is intended for the petrol engines of hybrid and plug-in hybrid passenger cars and for generator engines, and is designed for the operating pattern typical of hybrids.

The oil meets API SN RC and ILSAC GF-5; no car-maker approvals are listed.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 8.5 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 168, HTHS 2.6 mPa·s, pour point -36 °C, base number 8.5 mg KOH/g, sulphated ash 0.89 %. Available in 1 and 4 litres.

Use it only where the manufacturer specifies 0W-20.

Application

Petrol engines in hybrid and plug-in hybrid cars, and petrol generator engines, where the manufacturer (Honda, Nissan, Toyota, Kia) specifies a fuel-saving SAE 0W-20 oil.

Worth knowing

Among the Motul 0W-20 oils in the catalogue, the combination of API SN RC and ILSAC GF-5 appears only here, and the data sheet aims the oil at engines that specify API SN, SN RC or GF-5. For cars with GF-5 in the manual, API advises the newer GF-7A in the grade the maker specified, as the article on the API classes and the ILSAC “starburst” explains. If the maker requires GF-7A, the HYBRID 0W-20 data sheet does not have that code. Honda, Nissan and Toyota are named there as recommendations; Kia only on the product page.

Within the brand, NGEN HYBRID 0W-20 and 8100 ECO-LITE 0W-20 have API SQ RC and GF-7A together. The latter’s viscosity figures are almost the same as this oil’s: 8.4 mm²/s at 100 °C against 8.5, HTHS 2.6 mPa·s in both. NGEN HYBRID has 8.7 mm²/s, HTHS 2.7 mPa·s and ash of 0.72 % against 0.89 %. The pour point of -36 °C is the highest among the Motul 0W-20 oils in the catalogue (the rest: -41 to -54 °C), but the 0W designation does not depend on it: SAE J300 does not use this property.
