2021 VW Atlas Motul X-Clean 0W30 EFE UOA

Unlikely. I saw a recent VOA of their 8100 Power oil and oxidation was 14. Motul hypes their oils with the idea you're getting more exotic group V and other than their 300V line I don't think that is the case at all.

The are not advertising ester or anything in 5W30. in 0W30 is the same, but possibly Borate Esters, and definitely PAO.

Real nice UOAs. Was the 5w30 prior UOA a Euro oil.... maybe SN? Really low Magnesium on that one also.
Maybe since the X-Clean 5w30 hasn't PAO, would it possibly be enriched with ESTER?

I'll bet with the added TAN and TBN, Blackstone Lab really upped-the-cost of this analysis.

Of course.
Motul X-Clean+ 5W30.
