MOTUL 8100 ECO-LITE 5W-30: Don't let the name fool you, it's not actually that great for fuel economy compared to some others with a lower KV. With a TBN of 8.5, VI of 166 and KV of 11.4, this is one of the best 5W-30 oils you can get. This is leaning more towards a higher performance oil rather than focusing on fuel econ. The high TBN means you can get away with longer OCIs as well. I am personally using this in our 1.8L Corolla at home and the car runs smoothly and quietly and still gives us a good fuel average (for our use case), so I can't complain.

Pros: runs smoothly and quietly

Cons: not great fuel economy

Vehicle: Toyota Corolla

I'm one of the Motul 5w40 users. I use it because I live in west Texas where we will have weeks in a row over 100⁰F. I've also modified my car and take it to track days. This was the oil recommended by my tuner so that's what I use.

Pros: recommended by tuner, good for hot climate

Vehicle: Subaru

I use Motul 5w40 *Power* and I’m tuned. It’s really hard to heat up this oil and I have no oil coolers whatsoever and it’s been such a solid oil choice so far but I haven’t seen anyone use it except this one guy on his wrx. Highly recommend it

Pros: hard to heat up, solid choice

Vehicle: Subaru

I use 5w-40 Motul x clean gen 2 on my built wrx. Running 5w-40 is best for added protection from ethanol dilution overtime and for warmer climates as oil gets pretty hot.

Pros: added protection, good for warm climates

Vehicle: Subaru
