Overview
MOTUL NGEN HYBRID 0W-16 is an innovative, durable synthetic engine lubricant specially designed for Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) fitted with recent gasoline engines (turbo or naturally aspirated, direct/indirect injection). It uses SAE 0W-16 low-friction, low-HTHS-viscosity formulation addressing hybrid-specific challenges — fuel dilution, water emulsion, high stop/start frequency and lower oil-temperature operation — and is also suitable for battery electric vehicles (BEV) fitted with a thermal gasoline range-extender engine. Formulated with 25% premium regenerated base oils and filled in a 50% recycled / 100% recyclable Motul can.
