I went ahead and placed my Motul 8100 X-cess 5W40 order for my first oil change (I decided to do it at around 1000 miles, *before* we drive on a marathon 3500-4000 mile summer vacation in August). However, I was somewhat apprehensive of the Pour Point that was listed in a PDF specification sheet (dated 09/04) that I found on the Internets: it was -27 F, which can happen here in Wisconsin several times in any given winter.
However, then I ran across another specification sheet (dated 09/02) that listed the Pour Point as -38 F: much more comforting for our winter climate.
So, which is the real pour point? The -27 F number seems out of character for a synthetic oil...
