Oil question: Motul 8100 X-CESS vs Eo-Lite
In the past I have used 8100 X-CESS 0W20 but looks like the only one I can get that's readily available is the Eco-Lite version. Anybody use the Eco-Lite in their car especially for track duty?

I've been tracking with Sustina 0W20 + Oil Cooler. My oil temps never go past 105C iirc so I wasn't too concerned about the 0W20 weight. Haven't done an oil analysis however, maybe this season.

Took mine to TMP 2 times with Eco-Lite 0w20. Car didn't blow up but temps got pretty high up there after one particular 5 lap session (266F/130C).

If I recall correctly, X-cess is the 5W40 weight Motul product. I don't think there was ever a 0W20 labelled X-cess from Motul, chances are it was the Eco-Lite in the past as well

Yup, got that clarified last week, completely forgot what I was using last year but it was definitely the X-CESS and will be going with that again.

Know there's nunerous discussions on oil weight for the use and we've been using motion x-cess for the last couple of years. Seems that I had a senior moment and forgot what oil weights motul has in the 8100 lineup.
