I was considering Motul 8100 X-cess 5W40 vs Castol Edge and Motul won me over with its pricing for a 5L packaging. I believe most modern Conti car engines will require a little more than 4L of engine oil and i think Motul took this into consideration when it launched this product.

What I like Its really value for money considering that its in a 5L bottle. The bottle is also well designed as it has a collapsable spout to assist in the pouring out the engine oil so it doesn't spill all over the engine bay
Needed a oil to use for a 9 year oil car.
Car was already using the usual oil recommended from the agent. Since it would probably be the last oil change, wanted to try something different.
Seem a huge improvement overall.

Traffic Pattern (60% Highway, 40% Normal road)
Initial Feel driving off from workshop was smooth & light, better than Shell.
For morning cold start, the start up is more responsive and idling slightly better compared to Shell when new.
Low speed driving and power is about the same as Shell.
Revving to higher speed and about 100KM, the engine is more stable & lively.
Overall slight improvement from Shell.

Few cents review.
Thanks the event org for creating the event. Workshop I went to were commenting "How come use such expensive oil this round?" Because I always stick to OEM Honda Oil for it's cheap and good.
Just changed my oil to Motul 8100 X-Cess 5W40 last week drive feel the same nothing different, only driving for 1K the engine felt smoother and more responsive to throttle input maybe the cleaning agent is doing it job.
Engine feel more willing and rev more easily doesn't sound rough or sluggish like some EO when rev even new. Mileage still monitoring already 3 tanks already but there isn't any change could be because driving pattern was already heavy foot to start with, plus with 2 pax mostly during the drive and 60% City 40% HW could be another factor.
Previously used few different type of EO arranged according to most to least prefer EO .
1. Honda Orignal EO (OEM Idemitsu)
2. Mobil Gold
3. Bardahl
4. Redline
5. Turtle Logo EO
6. Shell
Btw I am driving a 08' Honda Stream with mileage currently 155K already so there maybe some horse dead over the mileage that why engine more responsive but mileage never improve.
