tnx a lot.
Despite one being GM dexos1 and the other GM dexos2, they are very similar in terms of HTHS, SA, base-oil viscosity, and VII content. X-clean is slightly higher in HTHS and base-oil viscosity, slightly higher in VII content, and slightly lower in SA.
X-clean EFE is a little more premium oil than the Eco-Lite. X-clean EFE may have some POE (ester) in the base oil to improve the base-oil quality and base-oil viscosity index, evident from lower pour point and higher density, which would help with engine cleaning and intake-valve deposits (IVD). In fact, I just checked the VOA oxidation numbers and the X-clean seems to have POE, and Eco-Lite definitely has no POE. For some reason X-clean wasn't certified for VW 504.00 though, which is a very strict spec.
In your GDI engine, between the two I would choose the X-clean EFE if they are priced similarly. However, both would work. A VW 504.00 and C2/C3 oil probably would be an upgrade over either, especially if it has POE like the X-clean. In fact I just checked it, and Motul Specific VW 504.00 & VW 507.00 has a dash of POE. It's hard to compare it to the POE in X-clean, as X-clean wasn't tested by the usual lab on the Oil-Club Russia site.
Wow, great info. I should have checked this thread first before posting in the other one. so motul x-clean efe is fine for TGDI AND the lspi issue? Because from what i read, the dexos 2, or at least that particular oil, doesn't prioritize the lspi issue. That would be suited more for the dexos 1 g2 oils.
I been a fan of mobil 1 EP but i have left over motul xclean efe. I know either oil would be fine but im ocd so i would like to know which one is actually "better", if there even such a thing as a better oil. For a wrx for example. TDGI engine.
