Product Overview
TYPE OF USE: Fuel Economy engine oil specially formulated for recent gasoline engines, turbocharged or naturally aspirated, indirect or direct injection, designed to use engine oil with low friction and low HTHS (High Temperature High Shear) viscosity (= 2.9 mPa.s). Suitable for modern gasoline engines requiring a viscosity grade 30 and fuel economy lubricant (API SN and/or ILSAC GF-5 standard). ; Approved GM-dexos1 GEN2 for all new GM gasoline engines requiring this approval: BUICK, CADILLAC, CHEVROLET, GM, and GMC.; Compatible with catalytic converters. This type of oil may be unsuitable for use in some engines. Refer to the owner manual if in doubt.; PERFORMANCES: The API SN standard is fully backward compatible over API SM standard and all former API standards. Based on the API SN specification, the ILSAC GF-5 standard is even more severe especially on the energy saving criteria. GM dexos1 standard combines very stringent requirements from international standards like API, ACEA and ILSAC, together with specific GM requirements to prove Fuel Economy benefits and engine durability. GM has developed its dexos1 standard in order for the oils to provide a high thermal stability and insure an outstanding resistance at high temperatures to avoid black sludge and viscosity increase that soot, coming from combustion residues, may create. Some other OEMs require for their most recent Gasoline engines an API SN and/or ILSAC GF-5 lubricant to guarantee the maximum performance and durability. Examples of MOTUL 8100 Eco-lite 5W-30 possible use for these OEMs: HONDA, SUBARU and TOYOTA gasoline engines. Environment friendly, this type of oil allows fuel consumption reduction and therefore minimizes greenhouse gases (CO2) emissions. ;RECOMMENDATIONS: Drain interval: according to manufacturers recommendations and tune to your own use. MOTUL 8100 Eco-lite 5W-30 can be mixed with synthetic or mineral oils. Before use always refer to the owner manual or handbook of the vehicle.
