Description

Motul POWER LCV ULTRA 10W-40 is a synthetic engine oil from the Power LCV line for passenger cars and heavier modern vans. It is designed for large turbodiesels and injected petrol engines that need a full-SAPS oil, and it runs on petrol, diesel and LPG.

The oil is rated ACEA A3/B4 and API SM/CF. The product page lists official approvals MB 229.3, PSA B71 2300, Renault RN0700, Renault RN0710 and VW 505.00.

It is not suitable for engines that require a low-SAPS oil. Available in 5 litres.

Application

Passenger cars and heavier modern vans with large turbodiesels or injected petrol engines where the manufacturer requires a full-SAPS ACEA A3/B4 oil.

Worth knowing

Motul presents the status of the codes differently in two documents. The product page groups all five under the heading “OEM Approvals”, while the data sheet keeps only Renault RN0710 and RN0700 in the APPROVALS line; MB 229.3, PSA B71 2300 and VW 505.00 sit there in a separate block. To check an entry in the Mercedes-Benz list, use the MB 229.3 description, which links to the approved-oil list. Typical figures appear only in the data sheet: 15.0 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 153, base number 10.4 mg KOH/g, pour point -36 °C. 6100 SYNERGIE+ 10W-40 repeats all four (only at 40 °C do they differ: 102.5 mm²/s against 105.5), and its data sheet puts MB 229.3 and VW 505.00 in the APPROVALS line.

For VW-group engines with unit injectors, the data sheet recommends not this oil but “Specific 505.01 5W-40” or POWER LCV EURO+ 5W-40: the latter has ACEA C3 and the VW 505.01 approval, while this has ACEA A3/B4 and only VW 505.00. Both are 5W-40, not 10W-40, so check the viscosity against the service book too. The data sheet warns that MB 229.3 itself is incompatible with diesels with a particulate filter.
