My last oil change I decided to make a switch to Liqui-Moly, specifically the 4100 Top Tech 5w40. I've used Motul since day one of ownership of my RS5 and had been using the Specific 502 00 5w-40 and the X-Clean 5w-40. Low pour point for better cold start performance Maybe its cause they are a definite category 4.Increased turbocharger cleanliness and protection.When ZDDP is reduced, better base stocks are used and more multi-functional anti-wear additives are used. If they are recommending against Motul X-Cess in DIT applications, then they should recommend against all high SAPS oils Motul 300 V (all grades) Mobil 1 0W40. SA is a concern for DI engines and trying to mitigate intake valve deposits which are not a concern in the EJ engine. Improved viscosity stability under extreme temperatures 78 and the highest TBN, while the SA on FE is.Increased oil performance in high horsepower applications 5W40 viscosity 100 synthetic For large displacement engines For the latest gasoline and diesel engines in both turbocharged and naturally aspirated.8100 X-cess gen2 5W40 is OEM approved for all new 2019+ BMWs requiring LL-01 (and backward compatible to all previous cars requiring BMW LL-01).Maybe Shop Dap can chime in since they started selling this in their Oil Change Kit for the Golf R. So for those of you who use Motul, looks like you're safe to use Gen 2 when the Gen 1 stuff is phased out. It appears the first version of this will remain available for some time but Gen 2 is backwards compatible and still VW 502 spec and is safe to use but this version specifically addresses euro 5 / Euro 6 emissions on newer low displacement, forced induction vehicles that are putting down high horsepower so this oil is an improvement for the EA888 but more importantly exists because the newer BMW vehicles that are turbocharged have some more stringent requirements. I was wondering why the change and found this pagee - This is Motuls 100 synthetic X-Clean 5W40 formulation, designed for modern cars with high power to liter ratios, with gasoline or diesel engines, direct. I have been reading up on the motul and people have been saying they are having issues with the oil paired with DIT but I. I just switched from T6 because of the formula change, to motul 8100 x-cess. I have an 04 STi with a whole bunch of bolt ons one of which are 850cc injectors. I recently ordered my 5W-40 Motul 8100 X-cess oil for my 2016 Golf R and the label changed and it now says 'gen 2' on the front. 100 synthetic engine oil designed for modern cars with high power to liter ratios, with gasoline or diesel engines, direct injection or catalytic converter. 2004 STi Motul 8100 X-Cess 5w-40 problem.
