Overview
MOTUL 8100 POWER 0W-20 is a High Performance 100% Synthetic ESTER engine oil inspired by competition, specially designed for gasoline engines — tuned or high performance, naturally aspirated or turbocharged, indirect or direct injection — operating across a wide range of engine revs and temperatures in the most severe road or racing conditions. It is suitable for gasoline engines requiring SAE 0W-20 and API SP oil, and its low viscosity minimizes hydrodynamic friction for a fuel-economy benefit, especially when cold.
Compatibility
Compatibility information not available.
Key Features
- ESTER Technology: 100% synthetic, competition-derived, outstanding oil film resistance at very high temperatures for maximum power/torque and wear protection; stable oil pressure road or racing
- API SP standard: addresses LSPI (Low Speed Pre-Ignition)/"Rumble" risk in downsized direct-injection turbocharged gasoline engines
- Full compatibility with biofuels: LPG, CNG, Bioethanol up to E85
- SAE 0W-20 minimizes hydrodynamic friction, delivers fuel-economy benefit especially when cold
- Faster oil flow at start-up, faster oil pressure build-up, sharper engine revs, faster engine warm-up
- Environmentally friendly: reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions
- Very good compatibility with catalytic converters
Applications
- Gasoline engines, tuned or high performance, naturally aspirated or turbocharged, indirect or direct injection
- Engines operating over a wide range of speeds and temperatures, in severe road or racing conditions
- Vehicles requiring an API SP viscosity grade 0W-20 lubricant
- Downsized, direct-injection turbocharged engines requiring LSPI protection
- Engines fitted with exhaust aftertreatment systems and catalytic converters
- Engines running on biofuels including LPG, CNG, and Bioethanol up to E85

Directions for Use
Before use, always refer to the vehicle's owner manual. This type of oil may be unsuitable for use in some engines — always check compatibility in the owner's manual first. Drain and replace the oil filter, then refill with MOTUL 8100 POWER 0W-20 to the manufacturer-specified capacity. Change interval: according to the manufacturer's recommendations, tuned to your own use. Can be mixed with other synthetic or mineral oils. Dispose of used oil responsibly at an authorised collection point.
Installation and usage guidance is general reference only. Manufacturer instructions take precedence. Visitors uncertain about installation or use should seek professional advice.
FAQ
What standard does Motul 8100 POWER 0W-20 meet?
It meets API SERVICE SP requirements at SAE 0W-20 viscosity, with LSPI protection for downsized direct-injection turbocharged gasoline engines.
Is Motul 8100 POWER 0W-20 compatible with biofuels?
Yes — it is fully compatible with LPG, CNG, and Bioethanol up to E85, and has very good compatibility with catalytic converters.
Can I mix Motul 8100 POWER 0W-20 with other engine oils?
Yes, it can be mixed with other synthetic or mineral oils, though a full oil change to a single specification is recommended for best performance.
