Strengthening Performance and Protection
Built on Motul's latest lubricant technology developments, the upgraded formulations are engineered to support the performance and protection requirements of today's gasoline engines. Compared with API SP, API SQ introduces more stringent requirements for engine wear protection, fuel economy retention, engine cleanliness, timing chain wear protection, oxidation control, and protection against Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI).
In addition, the upgraded low viscosity range complies with the latest ILSAC GF-7A/B industry standards, ensuring compatibility with current engine requirements while supporting long-term reliability, fuel economy, and overall engine performance.
The upgrade strengthens Motul's passenger car motor oil range across:Together, these upgrades reinforce Motul's commitment to making advanced lubricant technology accessible across its passenger car motor oil range, giving everyday drivers greater confidence on the road.
Refreshed Packaging for Easier Product Identification
Alongside the formulation upgrade, Motul has refreshed the packaging across the H-Tech 100 Plus, Multipower Plus, and Multigrade Plus range with a cleaner and more standardised design. The updated labels feature clearer product information, including viscosity grade, API SQ and ILSAC GF-7A/B certifications, key product benefits, application details, and an Oil Selector QR Code, helping consumers identify the right product more easily.
Driving the Future of Lubricant Innovation
The API SQ upgrade reflects Motul's immediate commitment to advancing its passenger car range, but the brand's innovation ambitions extend well beyond current industry standards. Motul's global research and development teams are actively developing lubricant technologies aligned with the next generation of vehicle architectures — spanning hybridisation, electrification, and the growing demand for sustainable, lower-emission mobility solutions.
