Sorry, but you cannot prove to me that it cannot handle a typical street/tracked interval of 5-6k miles, regardless of who you're speaking with. Is it overkill for most applications? Absolutely. Will Motul Eco-lite 0W-20 be fine for most intervals here and up to Subaru's/Toyota's 7,500 mile maximum interval (longer than 300V)? Absolutely.
BTW, there are no "x-series" oils in the Motul line-up that are 0W-20. The only 8100 oil by Motul that is a 0W-20 in N. America is Eco-lite. Is there a new oil that's not on Motul's web site? Or maybe you're thinking of X-clean 5W-30 and 5W-40?

Sorry was referring to the x-lite 0-30 which would be the closest to the 0-20 required.
I'm not going to get in a pissing match with you but if a manufacturer of said oil doesn't recommend it for street use I am going to advise them as such. Unless you and your uoa's would like to take on the liability by recommending something the manufacturer doesn't even recommend.
