Motul 111808 8100 Power 5W-40 Synthetic Ester Engine Oil API SP 1L LSPI

Vehicle Fitment

• Universal - Not vehicle-specific. Compatible with any gasoline or diesel engine (naturally aspirated or turbocharged, indirect or direct injection) requiring SAE 5W-40 viscosity grade oil meeting API SP performance standards. Suitable for high-performance, tuned, and motorsport applications. Always consult your owner's manual before use.

Fitment Notes

• Suitable for both gasoline and diesel engines operating across a wide range of engine speeds and temperatures, including severe road and racing conditions
• Compatible with all gasoline fuel types: leaded, unleaded, Ethanol (including E85), LPG, CNG, and biodiesel blends
• Carries no OEM-specific approvals - intended for motorsport, high-performance street, and tuned engine applications where OEM approval is not required
• Not recommended as a direct replacement for oils requiring ACEA C2/C3 Mid-SAPS specifications or OEM-approved standards (e.g., BMW LL-04, MB 229.51, VW 504/507)
• May be unsuitable for some engines - always verify with your owner's manual prior to use
• Can be mixed with synthetic or mineral oils; however, mixing is not recommended as it may reduce performance

Features

• 100% Synthetic ESTER-based formula derived from competition technology for maximum oil film resistance at extreme temperatures
• Inspired by Motul's motorsport heritage - engineered to deliver maximum power, torque, and reliability under the most demanding driving conditions
• LSPI (Low Speed Pre-Ignition) protection guards downsized, turbocharged direct-injection engines against destructive combustion events
• High HTHS viscosity of 3.9 mPa.s at 150°C ensures a robust oil film under high-shear, high-temperature conditions typical of performance driving
• Outstanding oxidation resistance prevents sludge buildup, deposit formation, and viscosity degradation over the drain interval
• Exceptional high-temperature resistance provides superior control of oil consumption and improved wear protection under race and track conditions
• Optimized SAE 5W-40 viscosity grade delivers fast cold-start oil flow, rapid pressure build-up, and an ideal balance between power output and engine reliability
• Compatible with catalytic converters and exhaust aftertreatment systems for street-driven performance vehicles
• Full biofuel compatibility including Ethanol E85, LPG, CNG, and biodiesel blends up to standard available ratios
• Backward compatible with API SN and API SN Plus standards for use in a wide range of older and newer platforms

Product Description

Motul 8100 Power 5W-40 (P/N 111808) is a competition-inspired, 100% synthetic ESTER engine oil engineered to bridge the gap between Motul's race-only 300V line and its street-approved 8100 X-Cess series. Drawing on decades of motorsport development, the 8100 Power formula utilizes ester base stocks - the same technology found in purpose-built racing lubricants - to deliver an exceptionally robust oil film at extreme temperatures. With an HTHS viscosity of 3.9 mPa.s at 150°C, this oil maintains critical film thickness under the high-shear, high-temperature conditions generated by performance and turbocharged engines during hard acceleration, track use, and extended high-RPM operation. The result is superior wear protection and tighter oil consumption control compared to conventional synthetic 5W-40 oils.

The 8100 Power 5W-40 meets the API SP performance standard, providing outstanding oxidation resistance, anti-deposit protection, engine cleanliness, and anti-wear performance across the full oil life. It includes built-in LSPI (Low Speed Pre-Ignition) protection - a critical feature for modern downsized, turbocharged direct-injection gasoline engines that are prone to this potentially engine-damaging phenomenon. The formula is fully compatible with catalytic converters and exhaust aftertreatment systems, making it equally suitable for high-performance street cars that must maintain emissions compliance. Biofuel compatibility extends to Ethanol E85, LPG, CNG, and biodiesel blends, accommodating a broad range of fuel types used in performance and modified applications.

Each 1-liter bottle of Motul 111808 is ideal for top-offs, partial oil changes, or use in vehicles with smaller displacement engines that specify 5W-40. The optimized SAE 5W-40 viscosity grade ensures rapid oil flow at cold starts, faster oil pressure build-up, and swift engine warm-up - all key factors in reducing wear during the critical start-up phase. This oil is particularly well-suited for enthusiasts with tuned, modified, or track-driven vehicles who require a step up from standard OEM-approved lubricants without moving to a full race oil. Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual to confirm 5W-40 is the specified or acceptable viscosity grade before use.
