Decided on Motul 8100 excess 5w-40...

[fcbuff]

For a modified Audi 2.0T. I am still looking for more info on this oil however...if any one has anything to add, links etc I would be greatfull. I plan on running UOA's and posting so as to get some info on it. I think because it is foreign and hard to come by, there isn't much good print out there on our side of the pond!

5W40 is the 'universal oil viscosity'. Most syns worldwide are 5W40, how can you go wrong?

Thanks! I was wondering what the difference was between x-cess and x-clean. Now I know. I am glad to know I picked the right one. Any users out there???

You could also use the Motul 8100 E-Tech 0w-40, its got the 503.01 spec and is an Ester Oil that I think will stand up to a hiding a bit better than the Excess.
I use the 300v 5w-40...good stuff.

What do you mean by "stand up to a hiding a bit better? The 300V is so expensive and I intend to do shorter OCI's. Is 503.01 a long life spec?

Now I'm confused; I always thought that the only high (or ANY?) ester base stock contented oil in Motul's lineup was the 300V??
