The Eco-Lite designation reflects the oil’s low-HTHS (High Temperature High Shear) viscosity profile, which reduces internal engine friction at operating temperature to deliver measurable fuel economy improvement over conventional or higher-HTHS oils. Sold in 5L format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMotul 8100 Eco-Lite Gen3 — What It Is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8100 Eco-Lite Gen3 is formulated for modern gasoline and diesel engines that specify a low-HTHS 5W-30 viscosity — primarily European OEM applications (PSA Peugeot\/Citroën, Renault, and others) and modern Asian engine applications that require ACEA C2 or C3 specification oils. Low-HTHS oils reduce the oil film thickness at high temperature and high shear conditions — the conditions present at the piston ring and crankshaft journal interfaces during normal operation. This reduced film thickness lowers friction and improves fuel economy, but requires that the engine is specifically designed and approved for low-HTHS oil use. Do not use a low-HTHS oil in an engine that specifies a standard-HTHS viscosity — confirm your engine’s OEM oil specification before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow-HTHS Fuel Economy Formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered to reduce internal engine friction at operating temperature — delivering measurable fuel economy improvement in engines designed for low-HTHS oil.
