Engines compliant with Euro 4, 5 and 6 emission regulation are fitted with sensitive exhaust gas after treatment systems. Indeed, Sulfur and Phosphorus inhibit catalytic converters operation leading to inefficient exhaust gas treatment; and
Sulfated Ashes clog DPFs leading to shorten regenerating cycle, quick oil aging, higher fuel consumption and engine power loss.
The ACEA C3 standard requests from the lubricant significant oil film resistance and low emission performance for powerful engines: MOTUL 8100 X-clean 5W-40 has synthetic base stocks and dedicated SAPS levels that generates
outstanding oil film resistance, reduces friction in the engine and provides after treatment devices compatibility. MOTUL 8100 X-clean 5W-40 brings high lubricating properties such as wear protection and high temperature resistance for better
controlled oil consumption. ACEA C3 lubricants achieve extended drain intervals managed by vehicles on-board computer.
Numerous OEMs such as KIA / HYUNDAI, HONDA, MITSUBISHI, NISSAN, SUZUKI, SSANGYONG,…
MOTUL 8100 X-clean 5W-40 meets the performance of the BMW Long Life-04 standard of the BMW Group for BMW, MINI and ROLLS-ROYCE vehicles until the model year 2019 i.e. up to End of 2018 only. For models from 2019 onward requiring an approved BMW LL-04 lubricant, products such as MOTUL 8100 X-clean+ 5W-30, MOTUL 8100 X-clean EFE 5W-30, 8100 X-clean Gen2 5W-40 or Specific LL-04 5W-40 must be used.
The FIAT 9.55535-S2, T2 and GH2 performance level imposes the engine oil to combine both ACEA C3 standard and 5W-40 viscosity grade in order to perfectly lubricate some Gasoline engines of FIAT, ALFA-ROMEO, and LANCIA produced from July 2007.
The MS-12991 performance level mirrors these FIAT specifications for CHRYSLER vehicles. The FORD WSS-M2C917-A specification is required for FORD Galaxy 1.9L TDI until MY2006; and for FORD Ka from MY2008 to 2016. Specifications VW 505 00 and VW 505 01 require outstanding detergent/dispersant power, high oil film resistance and
better viscosity increase resistance due to soot in order to cover many old Diesel engines and especially Diesel engines with unit pump injector systems (fixed oil drain interval) and Diesel with indirect injection systems.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Drain interval: according to manufacturers’ recommendations and tuned to your own use.Do not mix with lubricants not ACEA C3 compliant. Before use always refer to the owner manual or handbook of the vehicle.
