![]() ![]() until end of 2018 only, MOTUL 8100 X-clean 5W-40 can also be used. In reality I think I was mixing up 5W-30 and 5W-40 as that is a common oil to come in synthetic and synthentic blend as 5W-40 mostly comes in full synthetic only for normal cars. MOTUL 8100 X-clean EFE 5W-30 fulfils all the specifications of BMW Long Life-04 standard of the BMW Group for BMW,MINI and ROLLS-ROYCE vehicles with no exceptions i.e. To respond to your "There is NO SUCH thing as 5w-40 Synthetic blend" ![]() One thing I really love in the legal field is when someone speaks in absolute for an argument. Higher HTHS usually comes with higher grade, but not necessarily. But, 0W40 or 0W30 oils in ACEA A3 and C3 category are usually made out of more sophisticated base stocks and polymers.Īlso, grade is irrelevant, it is HTHS that matters. Actually, 0WXX is not beneficial until temperature drops to -20 to -25. Snow doesn't have anything to do with 0WXX oils. Someone somewhere might try to make 5W40 out if Group I and II base stocks, but on this planet, highly unlikely. Best oil for my 2014 V6 Sprinter I also had 08 Sprinter and I used Mobil ESP 5w40, and Valvoline MST 5w40, but Motul is a lot better. There is no such thing as 5W40 synthetic blend. The 40 viscosity will give more protection than a 30 viscosity and might be beneficial for you since you are Stage 2 tuned. 5W-XX vs 0W-XX is usually cheaper as 0W is usually full synthetic and 5W can be a synthetic blend. Motul 8100 X-clean 5W40 is a 100 synthetic high performance gasoline and diesel engine oil for latest generation cars, requiring high HTHS and mid SAPS. I don't really recommend a 0W-XX unless you reach freezing temps or have snow. If you are stage 2, I probably go with 5W-40. ![]() This blend is offered in different viscosity grades suitable for the latest generation of gasoline and diesel enginesand is Euro 4, Euro 5, and Euro 6 emissions. My question is now with the added power do i stick to the same grade oil or go for a LL-01 5W-30 or maybe even a 5w-40 for the extra power the car is making? Motul 8100 Eco-Clean motor oil is a 100 percent synthetic high performance fuel economy engine oil, specially designed for OEMs requiring low friction, low HTHS and low SAPS oils. Outside temprature at the moment we are around 15-20 celcius. I live in Cyprus so we have very hot summers but not so cold winter. I searched the web high and low and i am getting diffrent reviews and will appreciate owners to assist me on this one. Looking to do my first oil change in my stBMW M4 and i am getting mixed reviews on what oil grade to use. ![]()
