Get Motul 6100 Syn-nergy 5w-40 4ltrs in Kenya
Motul 6100 Syn-nergy 5W-40 is a high-quality, synthetic-based engine oil formulated to deliver strong and balanced performance under a variety of operating conditions. Designed using Motul’s advanced lubricant technology, it combines synthetic base oils with a powerful additive system to enhance protection, maintain engine cleanliness, and ensure thermal stability throughout its service life.
This oil is ideal for high-demand environments where engine components are subjected to significant heat, pressure, and mechanical friction. Its carefully selected formulation offers a reliable and robust lubricating film while supporting long-term durability and operational consistency.
Synthetic-Based Oil Formulation
Motul 6100 Syn-nergy is crafted with synthetic base stocks—primarily Group III oils—along with a performance-driven additive package. While not fully synthetic in the Group IV PAO sense, its synthetic-based formula provides excellent performance advantages over conventional mineral oils.
These base oils are hydrocracked for improved purity and molecular uniformity, resulting in enhanced oxidation resistance and better performance at both ends of the temperature spectrum. The formulation allows for extended drain intervals, reduced volatility, and consistent viscosity under dynamic conditions.
Viscosity Grade: 5W-40
This oil carries a multigrade viscosity rating of 5W-40, which highlights its ability to perform in both cold and high-temperature environments. The “5W” value ensures that the oil maintains fluidity at low temperatures, promoting fast lubrication flow during cold starts. The “40” rating provides the viscosity necessary to maintain oil film strength under high operational temperatures and mechanical load.
This viscosity balance allows the oil to adapt quickly to changing engine temperatures, ensuring optimal lubrication without thinning out under stress or thickening excessively in cold environments.
High Shear Stability
Motul 6100 Syn-nergy 5W-40 exhibits strong shear stability, maintaining its viscosity and lubricating properties even under extreme mechanical pressure. This stability ensures that the oil does not degrade prematurely or lose its protective film during high-speed or high-load conditions.
Resistance to viscosity breakdown contributes to a durable oil film that reduces metal-to-metal contact, prolonging the life of moving components and maintaining efficiency.
Thermal Oxidation Resistance
A core strength of this oil lies in its resistance to oxidation at elevated temperatures. The advanced antioxidant agents in the formulation prevent chemical breakdown of the oil when exposed to continuous high-heat operation.
By slowing the oxidation process, the oil avoids the formation of sludge, varnish, and acidic compounds that could compromise engine health. It remains chemically stable, supporting consistent protection over longer service intervals.
Low Volatility and Reduced Consumption
Motul 6100 Syn-nergy is designed to offer low volatility, ensuring that less oil is lost to evaporation at high temperatures. This is achieved through a combination of stable synthetic base oils and carefully selected molecular structures that resist evaporation.
This characteristic helps reduce oil consumption, limits the frequency of top-ups, and maintains viscosity consistency throughout the oil’s lifespan.
Detergent and Dispersant Additives
To ensure internal cleanliness, the oil includes a powerful system of detergents and dispersants. These additives prevent the formation of deposits by neutralizing acids and capturing contaminants like carbon, soot, and combustion residues.
By keeping particles suspended in the oil and away from metal surfaces, these additives help prevent blockage in oil passages, minimize wear, and preserve overall mechanical performance.
Anti-Wear and Friction Modification
Motul 6100 Syn-nergy 5W-40 features a well-balanced concentration of anti-wear additives, including zinc and phosphorus compounds (commonly referred to as ZDDP). These components form protective barriers on critical surfaces, reducing direct metal contact during engine operation.
Friction modifiers further improve efficiency by reducing internal resistance, helping components glide more smoothly. This results in enhanced mechanical performance and reduced component fatigue.
Enhanced Acid Neutralization – TBN Performance
The oil includes a Total Base Number (TBN) buffer that provides strong acid-neutralizing capabilities. During combustion, acids form and enter the oil; TBN additives work to neutralize these acids and maintain a chemically balanced environment.
A strong TBN reserve ensures that the oil continues to protect against corrosion and acid-related wear over time, particularly when used for extended drain intervals or in thermally intensive applications.
Foam Control and Air Release
In high-speed and high-pressure environments, the oil can become aerated, leading to foam formation. Foaming disrupts the oil’s ability to form a stable film and can result in erratic pressure behavior.
Motul 6100 Syn-nergy contains anti-foam additives and demonstrates excellent air-release properties. These ensure rapid dissipation of entrained air and maintain continuous oil flow, supporting stable operation in demanding conditions.
Corrosion Inhibition
The formulation is enhanced with inhibitors that prevent rust and corrosion from affecting metal components. This protection is especially important during cold starts or prolonged idling, where condensation may occur within the lubrication system.
Corrosion inhibitors form a protective molecular shield on surfaces, reducing the likelihood of pitting or structural damage due to moisture or acidic contaminants.
Compatibility with Modern Sealing Materials
Motul 6100 Syn-nergy is compatible with modern gaskets, seals, and elastomers. Its chemical stability and optimized additive content minimize the risk of seal shrinkage, swelling, or degradation, helping to prevent oil leaks or seepage over time.
This ensures that the oil maintains its containment integrity and preserves the mechanical reliability of the overall system.
Storage and Packaging
The 4-liter container is designed for easy handling, safe pouring, and minimal spillage. It is built with durable, chemical-resistant plastic that protects the oil from light, air, and moisture.
For best results, the oil should be stored in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. After opening, reseal the container securely to avoid contamination from dirt, moisture, or airborne particles.
