I was considering Motul 8100 X-cess 5W40 vs Castol Edge and Motul won me over with its pricing for a 5L packaging. I believe most modern Conti car engines will require a little more than 4L of engine oil and i think Motul took this into consideration when it launched this product.

What I like
Its really value for money considering that its in a 5L bottle. The bottle is also well designed as it has a collapsable spout to assist in the pouring out the engine oil so it doesn't spill all over the engine bay

What I do not like
None really

Needed a oil to use for a 9 year oil car.

Car was already using the usual oil recommended from the agent. Since it would probably be the last oil change, wanted to try something different.

Seem a huge improvement overall.

What I like
better then most oil as can feel the difference

What I do not like
price a tad more ex but worth it

Initial Feel driving off from workshop was smooth & light, better than Shell.

For morning cold start, the start up is more responsive and idling slightly better compared to Shell when new.

Low speed driving and power is about the same as Shell.

Revving to higher speed and about 100KM, the engine is more stable & lively.

Overall slight improvement from Shell.

Smooth, better fuel consumption, lively acceleration & car feel much lighter.

Few cents review.

Thanks the event org for creating the event. Workshop I went to were commenting "How come use such expensive oil this round?" Because I always stick to OEM Honda Oil for it's cheap and good.

Just changed my oil to Motul 8100 X-Cess 5W40 last week drive feel the same nothing different, only driving for 1K the engine felt smoother and more responsive to throttle input maybe the cleaning agent is doing it job.

Engine feel more willing and rev more easily doesn't sound rough or sluggish like some EO when rev even new. Mileage still monitoring already 3 tanks already but there isn't any change could be because driving pattern was already heavy foot to start with, plus with 2 pax mostly during the drive and 60% City 40% HW could be another factor.

Previously used few different type of EO arranged according to most to least prefer EO .

1. Honda Orignal EO (OEM Idemitsu)
2. Mobil Gold
3. Bardahl
4. Redline
5. Turtle Logo EO
6. Shell

Btw I am driving a 08' Honda Stream with mileage currently 155K already so there maybe some horse dead over the mileage that why engine more responsive but mileage never improve.

You just have to try it. I have been using this engine oil for a couple for days now, but this is the first oil that I have used that there was an immediate difference. I noticed how much quieter the engine idles right away. I feel that acceleration is smoother too. Fuel economy is about the same though.

Although its slightly more expensive than other premium engine oil, I think its worth the money if you want the best oil for your car.

What I like
Good performance
Less engine oil
Piece of mind that it has all the required additives for turbo engines

What I do not like
Price
Ease of availability as some workshops do not carry this brand

I did the regular 10K engine oil servicing in early December 2016.
After observing for the first 500KM, here is my feedback:
1. Performance. The most pleasing effect is the acceleration, the feel of sudden boost of power is obvious. As this car is nearing its 8th year, I have come to term to accept that it is getting more sluggish over the years.
2. Fuel consumption. The fuel efficiency has not taken effect on my car. It remains the same as before, around 10-11km/litre. I always monitor this every time I refuel it.

What I like
the acceleration. the car feel much lighter.

What I do not like
it is 5-quartz package is kind of waste for my car engine oil capacity. It will be good if it come in 1 quartz package

I did my 30k servicing last Fri 9 Dec and replace the existing Castrol Edge 5W-40 with Motul 8100 X-cess 5W40 in my Audi A3. I was quite surprised that Motul used a 5L packaging which suits me as my car used up around 4.5L of engine oil.

I have used many brands of engine oil and I find Motul comparable with the best. The engine felt smooth and responsive after the change. Engine was quiet at idle. X-cess does its job as all good engine oil should; Without fuss.

As my recommended oil change interval is every 15k, it would be interesting to see its sheer stability as the mileage adds up.

One thing I did find different was that X-cess seems to warm up slightly faster compared to Edge when I started the car the next morning, which might help fuel efficiency.

My typical travel patter is somewhat 70% Expressways and 30% Normal roads. After 1 petrol refill, my fuel efficiency maintained at around 14-16km/l.

What I like
5L packaging
Smooth and quiet

What I do not like
Nothing in particular

Traffic Pattern (70% Highway, 30% Normal road)
Petrol consumption test performed as above. Was using the Recommended 5w-40 Castrol Edge Titanium (VW/Audi Spec 502.00 505.00 oil).

Changed on Dec 2nd with Motul 5w-40 X-cess(VW/Audi Spec 502.00 505.00 oil), drove around quite a bit on the weekend including on Saturday on Scotts road where the road was Jammed due to road closure.

Initial Feel driving off from workshop was smooth, similar to Castrol. Next day morning start engine when cold, the start up more responsive and idling slightly better compared to Castrol when new. Low speed driving and power is about the same as Castrol. Revving to higher speed and about 100KM, the engine is more stable. Overall slight improvement from Castrol and will monitor the mileage and if Motul really gives up to 10% More constantly over a few full tanks.

What I like
Smooth, Fuel Consumption

What I do not like
