Motul 8100 X-Cess Fully Synthetic Engine Oil 5W-40 5L

Get Motul 8100 X-Cess Fully Synthetic Engine Oil 5W-40 5L  in Kenya

Motul 8100 X-Cess 5W-40 is a high-performance, fully synthetic lubricant formulated with advanced technology to meet the demands of modern internal combustion engines operating under high stress, high temperature, and high-speed conditions. The oil’s formulation ensures optimal lubrication, long-term performance, and stability in both low and high-temperature environments.

100% Synthetic Formulation

Motul 8100 X-Cess is made entirely from synthetic base oils, primarily Group IV PAOs (polyalphaolefins) combined with select Group V components. These base stocks deliver superior chemical stability and thermal resistance compared to conventional oils. The full synthetic nature allows for an extended range of operating temperatures and provides a consistent and durable lubrication film.

This composition helps resist thermal breakdown, oxidation, and molecular shearing over long periods of use. It enables the oil to maintain its performance properties even during extended drain intervals or when subjected to extreme mechanical and thermal stress.

Multigrade Viscosity – 5W-40

With its 5W-40 viscosity grade, the oil performs reliably in a wide range of operating temperatures. The “5W” rating ensures fluidity at low temperatures, promoting rapid oil circulation during cold starts. The “40” rating guarantees adequate film strength at high operating temperatures, maintaining viscosity to protect engine components under heat and load.

This balanced viscosity profile offers a strong hydrodynamic film between moving parts, limiting metal-to-metal contact. The stable viscosity minimizes shear loss and maintains lubrication stability over the lifespan of the oil.

Oxidation and High-Temperature Resistance

Motul 8100 X-Cess is engineered to withstand high levels of heat without degrading. This is achieved through advanced antioxidant additives that inhibit the formation of harmful by-products caused by oil oxidation. It resists thinning at high temperatures, ensuring the oil maintains its protective characteristics in thermally intensive environments.

The oil’s superior resistance to thermal breakdown minimizes deposit formation, particularly in the form of sludge, varnish, and lacquer. This promotes a clean and efficient engine environment over extended operating periods.

Low Volatility and Reduced Oil Consumption

A key characteristic of Motul 8100 X-Cess is its low volatility, which is achieved by selecting base oils with a high molecular weight and strong resistance to evaporation. This reduces oil consumption due to burn-off, especially under high-load or high-speed conditions.

The reduction in oil loss not only supports stable engine performance but also contributes to reduced frequency of top-ups. This helps maintain the oil’s protective layer throughout the service interval.

High Detergency and Dispersancy

The oil includes an effective blend of detergents and dispersants designed to keep internal surfaces clean and prevent the accumulation of carbon, soot, and other combustion-related contaminants. These additives work to neutralize acids and suspend particles within the oil until they can be removed during oil changes.

This results in a cleaner internal environment and reduces the risk of deposit-induced wear or performance decline. The oil keeps piston rings, oil passages, and hydraulic lifters free from sludge buildup, maintaining mechanical efficiency.

Shear Stability and Film Strength

The formulation exhibits high shear stability, meaning it resists molecular breakdown under mechanical stress. This is particularly important for maintaining a stable oil film in high-revving or high-pressure operating conditions.

The presence of anti-wear agents such as zinc and phosphorus compounds (ZDDP) enhances the oil’s ability to form a protective barrier on metal surfaces. This barrier minimizes friction and mechanical wear, even under boundary lubrication conditions where the oil film may be very thin.

Advanced Additive Package

Motul 8100 X-Cess contains a carefully engineered additive package that includes:

• Zinc Dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP): Offers anti-wear and antioxidant benefits.

• Calcium- and magnesium-based detergents: Neutralize acids and remove deposits.

• Dispersants: Maintain contaminant suspension and prevent sludge formation.

• Friction modifiers: Optimize lubrication and help manage operating temperatures.

These additives are balanced to deliver protection without compromising oil stability or contributing to deposit buildup. The formulation is optimized to maintain viscosity, reduce friction, and extend engine life under high-load operating conditions.

Thermal Conductivity and Cooling Support

Although not a coolant, the oil plays a vital role in removing heat from critical components. The molecular stability of synthetic base oils allows for efficient heat transfer away from friction zones such as bearings, pistons, and camshafts.

By minimizing hotspots and dispersing localized heat buildup, the oil contributes to thermal balance. This helps preserve the integrity of seals, gaskets, and metal surfaces in extreme environments.

Foam Resistance and Air Release

Motul 8100 X-Cess is formulated with anti-foam additives that inhibit the formation of air bubbles in the oil. Foaming can reduce the oil’s ability to form a stable lubricating film and lead to erratic pressure behavior. The anti-foam technology ensures smooth operation and consistent lubrication under dynamic conditions.

The oil also has rapid air release properties, allowing entrained air to escape quickly and preventing cavitation-related wear.

Corrosion and Rust Protection

The formulation includes corrosion inhibitors that protect internal metal surfaces from rust and acid attack, particularly during extended idle periods or cold starts when moisture condensation may be present. These inhibitors provide a protective coating that resists degradation by humidity or combustion by-products.

By preventing corrosion, the oil ensures longer service life of metallic components such as bearings, crankshafts, and camshafts.

Storage and Handling Guidelines

Motul 8100 X-Cess 5W-40 is packaged in tightly sealed containers designed to preserve product integrity. For best results, it should be stored in a cool, dry, and shaded location away from direct sunlight or sources of moisture. Once opened, the container should be resealed to prevent contamination or oxidation.

The oil remains stable under recommended storage conditions and should be used within a reasonable timeframe after opening. Spills and used oil should be handled and disposed of according to local environmental regulations.

Technical Properties (Typical Values)

• Viscosity at 40°C: ~90–100 mm²/s

• Viscosity at 100°C: ~14–15 mm²/s

• Viscosity Index: >165

• Pour Point: Approximately -36°C

• Flash Point: Above 230°C

• NOACK Volatility: <10%

• TBN (Total Base Number): ~10–11 mg KOH/g

These technical values illustrate the oil’s ability to deliver consistent performance over a broad range of temperatures and operating conditions. The high viscosity index indicates strong stability across temperature variations, while the low pour point ensures winter performance. The TBN value reflects the oil’s ability to neutralize acids and maintain a balanced pH during its service life.
