Mr. Motul, why can’t you buy Motul oil here in the US at a local auto parts store? Why is it only available at your “dealers” which are mostly local independent specialty stores or online through Amazon?

You can get it from RMEUROPEAN.COM. Great prices year round and additional discount available through the end of the year.

We are set up so that any local automotive shop dealing with a major distributor should be able to order it if you ask them to stock it. We had stayed away from the bigger retailers in the past because some of the products, like 300V, are intended for racing use and we didn't want a local parts guy suggesting it is fine for 10,000 miles in someone's daily driver. But we are working on more widespread distribution with some of the more reputable major retailers for our 8100 products.

Anyone ever order from Autohaus AZ? Looks like they have Motul. I assume that they are an authorized dealer? Anyone know if that is correct/. Their prices are pretty good And free shipping if you order two 5 L containers.

Mr. Motul, wondering why there is no Moly added in 8100 5w-40?

We've been asking Mr. Motul for years now, to post up VOAs, and he refuses to do so. Unfortunate.

I am a long time pelican parts and ECStuning customer, but rmeuropean.com prices won me over.
There is considerable difference between prices. I am hooked. Thank you Mr Motul
Just ordered Motul Xcess 5w 40 Porsche A40 oil for my 991.1S and spark plugs for my 958 GTS

+1 for rmeuropean.com good prices and easy to deal with. I have bought from Autohaus, good prices but I'm not sure if they're an authorized dealer. I'd think they'd have to be considering their prices.

I wanted to post an update to say that our "gen2" versions of both 8100 X-cess 5W40 and 8100 X-clean 5W40 have started to ship to distributors and should arrive at most online retailers and dealers this summer.
Our primary reason for reformulating was due to new standards from BMW to meet their improved LL-01 and LL-04 standards on 2019+ vehicles, but it also gave us a chance to achieve the new Porsche C40 approval on our X-clean 5W40 gen2 product.
Full details on the launch can be found here: INTRODUCING 8100 X-CESS 5W40 GEN 2 AND X-CLEAN 5W40 GEN2
Here are the basics:
8100 X-cess 5W40 gen2 - will eventually phase out current product as it retains the same approvals (Porsche A40, VW 502 00 / 505 00, MB 229.5/226/5) but is an improved formula to retain the adjusted BMW LL-01 standard.
8100 X-clean 5W40 gen2 - new product is reformulated and has approvals for Porsche C40**, VW 511 00**, GM dexos2, MB, 229.52/226.5, and adjusted BMW LL-04 standard. Will exist alongside the "first gen" or current product as that formula offers Porsche A40 and VW 502 00 / 505 00 / 505 01. **new Porsche C40 and VW 511 00 standards are not backwards compatible.
