This UOA is for a 2011 Audi A4 with a turbocharged 2.0L CAEB 4cyl engine running Motul 8100 X-cess 5W40. Vehicle is equipped with an APR Stage 1 ECU tune and is daily driven VERY hard.

This UOA is for a 2013 BMW F10 M5 with an S63B44 twin-turbocharged 4.4L V8 running Motul 8100 X-cess 5W40. Vehicle is driven 'spiritedly' daily with a 50/50 mix of city/hwy driving. Located in the Southeast US. Oil consumption was zero. * The first UOA (10/2/17) was the vehicle new to the...

I have a 964 as well as running a shop that services air-cooled 911s. I currently run Motul 300V Power 5W40 in mine, but used to use Valvoline VR1 20W50 and recommend that for customers 911s. Mine is a pre-June '91 build, so it has the infamous head gasket weeping since the o-ring update was...

Originally Posted By: 333jeffery I just saw a Motul oil that I am not familiar with called Sport. Is anyone here familiar with it? It's even pricier than the 300V 5w-40, and I wondered if it is meant to replace the 300V oils. My diesels love the 300V and I would like to try some of this new oil...

Originally Posted By: 1JZ_E46 Thank you for posting all of these UOAs and VOAs, GermanAutohaus. Motul X-cess looks really popular at your shop. Seems to do a good job. You're very welcome. I'd much rather share the data with the community than keep it private. I'm all for sharing the love and...

I'd give the T6 5W40 a shot. I don't have any UOA's for motorcycles, but the ones I do have for regular gas and diesel engines the shear stability has been satisfactory. Apples to apples, i've seen better stability and less wear with the T6, but then again I don't exactly have a load of data on...
