Motul 8100 X-Cess SAE 5W-30 100% Synthetic Engine Oil, BMW LL-01 MB 229.5 MB 226.5 VW 502 00 505 00 Renault RN0710 Approved, ACEA A3/B4 Full SAPS High HTHS, European Car Formula, 5 L

Motul 8100 X-Cess 5W-30 is a 100% synthetic engine oil carrying official BMW LL-01, Mercedes-Benz MB 229.5, Mercedes-Benz MB 226.5, Volkswagen/Audi VW 502 00/505 00, and Renault RN0710/RN0700 approvals. Formulated with Full SAPS additive chemistry meeting ACEA A3/B4 and API SL/CF standards, this oil delivers a high HTHS viscosity of 3.5 mPa.s at 150 degrees C for superior oil film protection under extreme thermal and shear stress. The high Total Base Number of 12.5 mg KOH/g provides outstanding acid neutralization for extended drain intervals as recommended by European manufacturers. Designed for gasoline and diesel engines without Diesel Particulate Filters. NOT for DPF-equipped vehicles requiring BMW LL-04, MB 229.51, or VW 504 00/507 00, use Motul 8100 X-Clean instead. Compatible vehicles include BMW 3-Series (E46, E90, F30), 5-Series (E60, F10), X3, X5 with N52, N54, N55, and early B58 engines; Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W204, W205), E-Class (W212, W213), ML/GLE; and VW/Audi Mk5/Mk6 GTI, B8 A4 requiring VW 502 00. Kinematic viscosity 11.8 mm2/s at 100 degrees C, 71.7 mm2/s at 40 degrees C, pour point -36 degrees C, flash point 230 degrees C. 5 liter format.

• BMW LL-01, MB 229.5, VW 502 00 OEM Approved: Carries official OEM approvals from BMW LL-01, Mercedes-Benz MB-Approval 229.5, Mercedes-Benz MB-Approval 226.5, Volkswagen/Audi VW 502 00 and 505 00, and Renault RN0710/RN0700, covering a broad range of European gasoline and diesel engines without particulate filters. These are formal manufacturer approvals verified on the Motul Technical Data Sheet, not 'recommended for' claims. Warranty-compliant for out-of-warranty and late-model BMWs (3-Series, 5-Series, X3, X5), Mercedes C-Class and E-Class, and VW/Audi models requiring the 502 00 specification
• High HTHS Full SAPS Protection: Formulated with a high HTHS viscosity of 3.5 mPa.s at 150 degrees C, delivering robust oil film resistance under extreme shear and thermal stress that turbocharged and high-revving engines demand. The Full SAPS additive chemistry (ACEA A3/B4) provides maximum detergent and anti-wear protection without the restrictions of Low SAPS formulations designed for emissions systems. API SL/CF certified. This is the oil for performance driving, canyon runs, and occasional track days where oil film integrity is non-negotiable
• Extended Drain Interval Capability: Engineered with a Total Base Number (TBN) of 12.5 mg KOH/g that provides outstanding acid neutralization capacity over extended service intervals as recommended by European manufacturers. The high TBN maintains oil alkalinity and detergent effectiveness even under the severe conditions of turbocharged direct-injection engines that produce higher levels of combustion byproducts. 100% synthetic base stocks resist oxidation and thermal breakdown, maintaining viscosity stability throughout the full drain interval
• Cold Start Protection and Thermal Stability: 100% synthetic base stocks deliver a pour point of -33 degrees F for rapid oil circulation during cold starts, minimizing metal-on-metal wear before the engine reaches operating temperature. Flash point of 446 degrees F resists thermal breakdown under sustained high-load conditions.
• Broad European Vehicle Fitment, Full SAPS for Non-DPF Engines: Compatible with BMW 3-Series (E46, E90, F30), 5-Series (E60, F10), X3, X5 with N52, N54, N55, and early B58 engines; Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W204, W205), E-Class (W212, W213), ML/GLE; VW/Audi Mk5/Mk6 GTI, B8 A4, and Renault models requiring RN0710 or RN0700. Also carries the MB 226.5 and VW 505 00 diesel approvals for non-DPF diesel engines. This Full SAPS formulation is designed for gasoline and diesel engines without Diesel Particulate Filters. 5 liter format provides the correct fill volume for most European vehicle oil changes
