The Industrial Revolution had just turned the world upside down, Motul seized the opportunity by focusing on innovation excellence. Engineering limitations had started to fade when Motul started its very first enterprise in 1853. As man went beyond steam engines and factories sprang up everywhere, as oil became essential, Motul went a step further. Shop from brands like Motul, Peak, K&N, Red Line, aFe, and more! throtl Proudly Partners With Motul Oils.Īs iron started to smelt, the performance requirements increased dramatically. Keep your vehicle running at its peak performance with the proper engine oil and filter. Do not mix with lubricants not ACEA C3 compliant. This specification applies to all PORSCHE engines, except Cayenne V6 and Diesel versions (for these specific engines, use an approved Porsche C30 lubricant such as MOTUL 8100 X-clean+ 5W-30). The Porsche A40 standard requires extreme high shear resistance from the lubricant. The specification MB 229.51 applies to some MERCEDES Gasoline engines, and to all MERCEDES Diesel engines, with or without DPF. The MB 229.51 requires a reduced content of SAPS in order to be compatible with MERCEDES exhaust gas after treatment systems. Also, GM-OPEL dexos2 TM fully supersedes and replaces the previous GM specifications: GM-LL-A-025 (Gasoline) and GM-LL-B-025 (Diesel).

GM-OPEL dexos2 TM standard is suitable for the whole range of GM-OPEL Diesel engines (including DPF versions) and most of Gasoline engines from Model Year 2010.

The FORD WSS M2C 917A standard is required for FORD Galaxy 1.9L TDI until MY2006 and for FORD Ka from MY2008. Outside those countries, a BMW LL-01 lubricant such as MOTUL 8100 X-cess 5W-40 is required. ATTENTION: BMW LL-04 product can be used for gasoline engines only in European Union countries, Switzerland, Norway and Liechtenstein. It covers all BMW engines from 2004 and also all BMW engines before 2004 as BMW LL-04 covers all the previous BMW specifications such as BMW LL-98 and BMW LL-01. The BMW Long Life-04 specification imposes severe constraints to the lubricant particularly due to Valvetronic and after treatment systems compatibility. Numerous OEMs such as KIA / HYUNDAI, HONDA, MITSUBISHI, NISSAN, recommend an ACEA C3 lubricant for most of their vehicles especially Diesels with DPF. ACEA C3 lubricants achieve extended drain intervals managed by vehicles on-board computer. ACEA Standards: ACEA C3 API Standards: API SN/CF OEM Approvals: BMW LL-04, MB-Approval 229.51, VW 502.00/505.01/505.00, Porsche A40, Ford M2C 917A, FIAT 9.55535-S2, GM DEXOS2 PERFORMANCES: The ACEA C3 standard requests from the lubricant significant oil film resistance and low emission performance for powerful engines. Possibility to reach the longest drain interval allowed by the vehicles on board computer. Designed for turbocharged Diesel direct injection or Gasoline engines requiring an ACEA C3 engine lubricant, high HTHS viscosity and latest emission requirements. Sulphated Ashes clog diesel particulate filters : shorten regenerating cycle, higher fuel consumption and engine power loss.ĪCEA developed the C3 standard for lubricants with high HTHS (> 3.5 mPa.s), reduced Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus and Sulphur content, suitable for use with post exhaust gas treatment systems.ĪCEA C3 lubricants achieve extended drain intervals managed by the vehicles on board computer.Motul 5L Synthetic Engine Oil 8100 5W40 X-CLEAN C3 -505 01-502 00-505 00-LL04 Synthetic Engine Oilįully synthetic lubricant, Mid-SAPS, specially designed for Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) and Three Way Catalytic converters.
