PERFORMANCES
STANDARDS ACEA A3 / B3 / B4
APPROVALS
API SL / CF
* The OPEL/GM Diesel LL B-025 standard requires two main properties
to the lubricant : high HTHS and very low volatility to drastically
decrease oil consumption. Motul 8100 X-cess 5W-40 is especially
recommended for OPEL 2.0 and 2.2 DTI engines (extended drain interval :
computer on board).
* The ACEA B4 performance requires an outstanding
detergent/dispersent power and a better viscosity increase resistance
due to soot produced by Direct Injection Diesel engines (excep VW unit
injector engines that require MOTUL Specific 505.01 5W-40)
* The MB 229.3 standard is more stringent than 229.1 in terms of
ageing resistance (extended drain interval : computer on board ),
detergent/dispersent power (ACEA B4) and requests fuel economy
performance : 1.2% fuel economy improvement versus a 15W-40 reference.
RECOMMENDATION
Drain interval : refer to manufacturers’ recommendations and tune
to your own use. MOTUL 8100 X-cess 5W-40 can be mixed with synthetic or
mineral oils.
