DESCRIPTION
Motul 8100 X-Clean 5W-40 is a premium, 100% synthetic engine oil formulated to deliver strong wear protection while supporting modern emissions systems like DPFs and catalytic converters. It’s a smart choice for many BMW, Audi, and VW petrol and diesel engines—especially where maintaining clean internals and long-term reliability are top priorities.
Approved for ACEA C3 and BMW Longlife-04, VW 502.00/505.00/505.01, and MB 229.51/229.52. X-Clean 5W-40 balances robust high-temperature protection with mid-SAPS (low sulphated ash, phosphorus, and sulphur) chemistry. That means fewer deposits, less soot buildup, and cleaner operation in engines with tighter tolerances and emissions hardware.
Unlike thinner oils aimed at fuel economy targets, X-Clean 5W-40 maintains strong film strength and oil pressure—making it a great option for enthusiasts, cars used for occasional spirited driving, towing, or vehicles with some mileage on the clock.
Key benefits:
-
Long-term protection for turbocharged petrol and diesel engines
-
Mid-SAPS formula safe for DPFs, EGR systems, and catalytic converters
-
Maintains excellent oil pressure and engine cleanliness
-
Suitable for many BMW LL-04 and VW 505.01 applications
-
Excellent stability in high-temperature Australian conditions
HELPFUL TIPS
In some markets, LL-04 oils like this are also recommended for petrol models. However, due to the higher sulphur content in Australian fuel, LL-04 is here reserved for diesel engines here.PART NUMBERS
