Formulated for modern engines that specify 0W-20 — primarily Japanese OEM applications (Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Mazda, Nissan) and select American OEM applications (Ford EcoBoost, GM) where 0W-20 is the factory-mandated viscosity for fuel economy compliance. The Gen3 designation reflects Motul’s latest generation formula in the 8100 Eco-Lite line. Sold in 5L format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e0W-20 vs. 5W-30 Eco-Lite — Key Differences\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 0W-20 and 5W-30 are both part of the 8100 Eco-Lite Gen3 line but target different engine populations with different OEM viscosity requirements. The 0W-20 is an even lower HTHS (High Temperature High Shear) viscosity than the 5W-30 — providing a greater fuel economy benefit but requiring an engine specifically engineered and approved for ultra-low viscosity oil. The 0W-20 specification is primarily mandated by Japanese OEMs and select American OEMs for modern fuel economy-optimized engines. The 5W-30 Eco-Lite targets primarily European OEM applications (PSA, Renault) with ACEA C2\/C3 requirements. \u003cstrong\u003eConfirm your engine’s OEM viscosity specification before ordering — do not substitute 0W-20 for 5W-30 or vice versa without OEM approval.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUltra-Low Viscosity Fuel Economy Formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0W-20 is one of the lowest viscosity grades in mainstream use — engineered to minimize internal engine friction at operating temperature in engines specifically designed for ultra-low viscosity oil.
