Motul, however, recently reformulated their flagship oil, 8100 X-cess 5W40, to a Gen2 version that‘s reformulated to keep the BMW LL-01 certification. It also has Porsche A40, Mercedes-Benz 229.5 & 226.5, and VW 502 00/505 00 approvals. Compared to the Leichtlauf, it also has greater oil film strength (HTHS) and a higher viscosity index that will give better performance, durability, and longevity over a full oil change interval.
I'm one of those "risk takers" that went with Motul 5w40 X-Cess. The oil has been fine as far as I can tell but I'm no expert.
I tried Motul 7100 oil, man that thing is awesome, but expensive. Lasted be 1800miles before change
Motul every 10k for over 200k miles @486whp. Oil tests every other change. Now I do 5k or every 3 track events/races.
Motul X-clean efe for my 2016 WRX! 5w30. Hands down the best oil for the turbo FA20 engine.
I've had good results from Blackstone with running Motul X-Clean EFE 5w30. It has a high HTHS value so it keeps it's viscosity over time, from what I understand.
It worth looking at Total Quartz Ineo Long Life 0W-20, complies with VW 508 00. It will be my pick for my 2019 Tiguan 2.0 TSI EA888 gen3-B V100 = 8.1 V40= 40 VI= 183 Pour Point = -66 C
That'd be nice. I could just run the same oil in the Tig and my Golf TDI. 504/507 Total Quartz is quite a bit cheaper than the Castrol 0w20 and it's been doing great in my Golf according to the Blackstone reports.
Personally I use Motul 8100 Ecolite 0W-20.
I use total quartz. My tuner and other local shops that work on European cars highly recommend it.
