Description

Motul NGEN HYBRID 0W-20 is a synthetic engine oil from the NGEN HYBRID line for petrol hybrid (HEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) cars. It is designed for frequent engine stops and starts and short warm-up cycles; according to the maker, part of its base oil is re-refined.

The oil is rated API SQ RC and ILSAC GF-7A; the data sheet lists no car-maker approvals.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 8.7 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 167, HTHS 2.7 mPa·s, pour point -48 °C, sulphated ash 0.72 %. Available in 1 to 208 litres.

Besides hybrids, the data sheet allows it in other petrol engines requiring 0W-20 with matching API and ILSAC classes, and in petrol range extenders in EVs.

Application

Petrol hybrids (HEV) and plug-in hybrids (PHEV) whose engines are designed for low-friction oils with an HTHS viscosity of at least 2.6 mPa·s.

Worth knowing

The Motul product page records API SQ RC and ILSAC GF-7A for this oil, but the PDF data sheets dated 06/24 and 09/24 still give API SP RC and ILSAC GF-6A. The newer classes appear in a separate 03/25 data sheet; the viscosity figures on this page are taken from it (8.7 mm²/s at 100 °C and viscosity index 167, against 8.6 and 165), while HTHS, ash and pour point are not among its figures, so they are given from the 09/24 version. When you have only the can, the generation shows in the “doughnut”: SP RC goes with GF-6A, SQ RC with GF-7A.

Honda, Kia, Nissan and Toyota are listed among the recommendations in both generations of the data sheet, and neither contains carmaker codes. With the same classes, 8100 ECO-LITE 0W-20 has six carmaker specifications with the status “meets the requirements”, including Ford WSS-M2C962-A1 and Fiat 9.55535-CR1, and also an HTHS of 2.6 mPa·s against 2.7 and ash of 0.84 % against 0.72 %. HYBRID 0W-20 from the same brand stops at API SN RC and ILSAC GF-5.
