Always used Motul 8100 xclean 5w30 every 3k miles on the dot.
Anything from Motul Go for full synthetic and according to the grade and spec recommended by your instruction manual.
Prefer 10w40 full synthetic only.
this oil is used in a dominar 400 and has been used for roughly 1500km before the highway ride in heavy and light city traffic. my opinion of this oil so far is pros:-
it's very consistent so you know what to expect from it
maintains its smoothness even at higher rpms/ speeds
the engine remains cool on the highways but again this can be attributed to the excellent heat management liquid cooling system of Dominar 400
oil drains can be decently long 4-5k km if the motorcycle Is liquid-cooled( it will still have some life left but hey please change the oil at 5k km)
it's a clean oil, and it has detergents that will keep your engine from having sludge deposits
cons:-
as soon as the engine heats the gear shift experience is a mess, its okay to switch between gears but getting into neutral is hard
higher priced compared to other good brands like total hi perf, but lower than Castrol
also, this is a big one I've heard and read on other motorcycle forums, ester-based oils can be bad for gaskets and seals in the long run.
this oil is kinda bad to use in an air-cooled engine, because this oil evaporates and decreases in level, in an air-cooled engine this will be a mess as this oil from what I can understand and feel was designed to go into a liquid-cooled engine and this does a poor job at transferring and absorbing heat. seen many cases of oil level drop when used in an air/oil cooled motor
most importantly there are a lot of fakes of this oil in the market so to source the genuine one just go to a KTM showroom if your bike uses 10w50
verdict:- good oil for the price, looks fancy with the red colour, does its job well, and will last 5k km easily on a liquid-cooled engine
Just make sure it’s SP 0w30 I personally run the euro spec castrol which is the same at the BMW bottle. The Motul SP is also good.
Im using Motul at Petron lang Palagi sa engine oil ko overall 29k odo na motor ko walang masamang nangyare ( ingat sa fake motul )
I used motul 7100 10W50 but couldn’t rate it as my bike simply was in storage for months after and it was a overkill as well, now using motul 5100 15W50, the heat control, gear shifting is awesome, let’s see what the mileage comes out to be
I have been using Motul’s 5w40 8100 X-Cess gen2 since I got my car. 2017 Subaru sti EJ257. Built 418 whp No issues every couple oil changes I like to try some Motul 5w50 in there for 2500km or so then switch back to 5w40
I’ve (mostly) only used Motul in my scooters. Only destroyed two engines and the oil wasn’t to blame. (I was.)
Motul 8100, was using mobil 1 but had problems with it blowing past the rings during high rpm’s and getting into the intake
