Description

Motul SPECIFIC RBS0-2AE 0W-20 is a fully synthetic engine oil from the Specific line, which Motul builds around the requirements of individual car makers. This grade is intended for the Volvo Drive-E family of petrol (VEP) and diesel (VED) engines and has a fuel-saving formulation.

It is rated ACEA C5 and holds official Volvo VCC RBS0-2AE approval. It is compatible with particulate filters and catalytic converters.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 8.8 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 184, HTHS 2.9 mPa·s, pour point -48 °C, base number 9.1 mg KOH/g, sulphated ash 0.74 %. Available in 1, 5 and 208 litres.

Application

Volvo cars with Drive-E petrol (VEP) and diesel (VED) engines for which the manufacturer requires an oil to the Volvo VCC RBS0-2AE standard.

Worth knowing

By its figures this oil stands out among the five ACEA C5 0W-20 oils of the Specific line in the catalogue: 8.8 mm²/s at 100 °C against 8.1-8.2, and HTHS 2.9 mPa·s against 2.6-2.7. The HTHS value sits right at the limit, since this oil’s data sheet gives the C5 requirement as a range from 2.6 to less than 2.9 mPa·s. That is not a quality rating: why a higher HTHS does not make an oil better, and how to read such lines, is explained in the article on the oil data sheet.

The document gives fuel saving of up to 3.4 %, but against a 15W-40 reference oil; for SPECIFIC 508 00 509 00 0W-20 Motul quotes up to 1.5 % against a 5W-30, so the two numbers cannot be compared. The data sheet specifies Drive-E engines as four-cylinder. Among Motul oils in the catalogue, the other Volvo codes are on 0W-30: VCC 95200377 in 8100 ECO-NERGY 0W-30 and VCC 95200356 in 8100 X-MAX 0W-30, and RBS0-2AE is not among them. Oils of other brands also claim this standard: Volvo VCC RBS0-2AE.
