Engine oil MOTUL or IDEMITSU

I am currently using Motul 8100 x-clean gen2 5w-40 (good on DPF) for the last 7000km (I think) without any issues. This oil should provide better lubrication, especially if driven hard and during high temps.

I’ve been using the 300V , absolutely love the feeling of this oil but decided to switch since it’s a true race oil & the intervals needing very frequent changes. After only 1000 miles of street riding , I’ve tested the oil & it began to sheer from 18 cst @ 100c down to 15 cst @100c .

I been using Motul 8100 X-clean EFE 5W-30 Synthetic Oil and is working fine at the moment with OEM filter.

Motul x-clean plus. Less noise and softer engine run. I'm using it in all my TDI's and X5 35d.

Motul is cheaper than Petronas and it's a very good oil.

Best oil for me is Motul 8100 X-Clean 5W-40 C3, or Liquil Moly. 5W-40 because I got more hot climate here (Greece).

I have a Sohn kit and run Idemitsu engine oil in the engine and Idemitsu premix in the Sohn. Runs lovely and smooth and the original cat is still doing the job.

I would recommend Motul.

I’ve got Motul Sport 5W30 for my MY12 XV, which ain’t a turbo ofcourse????

But next time I’ll go for sport 5W40, as it’s better for long driving in temperatures like 30(+) degrees Celsius outside.

The Sport range is by the way also good again low speed pre-ignition.

I am currently using Motul X clean EFE 5w30 using it because it was Tuner/shop recommended by Dmann/Felix Performance who did change for me prior to a tune/dyno and I haven't switched back.

Get the regular Motul if you feel you need to use the recommended brand, but the Twin is definitely not needed.
