Synthetic bio-sourced "Fuel economy" engine oil specially designed for Hybrid Electric Vehicles (H.E.V) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (P.H.E.V) fitted with recent gasoline engines, turbocharged or naturally aspirated, direct or indirect injection, designed to use SAE 0W-12 oil with low friction and low HTHS (High Temperature High Shear) viscosity (≥ 2.0 mPa.s).
MOTUL NGEN HYBRID 0W-12 is especially formulated for the technical challenges imposed by Gasoline Hybrid cars, such as fuel dilution, water emulsion, high numbers of stop/start events and lower oil temperature conditions. This state-of-the-art formulation is part of a whole new Motul sustainable concept as it contains 25% of Organic base (100% renewable plant-based synthetic base stocks) and is filled in a 50% recycled and 100% recyclable Motul can. This Organic base using non-fossil renewable materials is limiting the environmental impact and allows Motul to lower its carbon footprint by 25% during manufacturing.
MOTUL NGEN is the common naming to qualify the sustainable ranges at Motul using different technologies into the formulations and packaging to reduce its carbon footprint.
This dedicated formula can also be used for gasoline engines requiring a viscosity grade SAE 0W-12 lubricant or a “Fuel Economy” lubricant in viscosity grade 12.
MOTUL NGEN HYBRID 0W-12 is also suitable for battery electric vehicles (B.E.V) fitted with thermal gasoline engine used as Range Extender.
Compatible with catalytic converters and particulate filters.
This type of oil may be unsuitable for use in some engines. Refer to the owner manual if in doubt.

Viscosity grade SAE 0W-12 minimizes seriously lubricant hydrodynamic friction, allows maximum fuel economy benefits especially when the oil is cold.
This ultra-low viscosity grade also improves oil flow at start up, delivers faster oil pressure build up, faster rev raisings and allows to reach operating temperature faster, regardless of engine operating mode.
MOTUL NGEN HYBRID 0W-12 is specially formulated to meet the specific challenges of hybrid electric vehicles, such as HEV, PHEV and BEV with Range Extender, on which numerous and multiples unexpected stops and starts of the Gasoline engine are involved during the different operating phases of the hybrid vehicle. This particular mode of operation of the internal combustion engine on a hybrid vehicle generates very specific constraints for the lubricant such as fuel dilution, water emulsion, high numbers of stop/start events and working at lower oil temperature conditions which generate increased oxidation, and for that purpose, MOTUL NGEN HYBRID 0W-12 fully meets all these demanding requirements.
Environment friendly, this type of oil allows fuel consumption reduction and therefore minimizes greenhouse gases (CO2) emissions.

ORGANIC BASE
The Organic base using non-fossil renewable materials is limiting the environmental impact and allows Motul to lower its carbon footprint by 25% during manufacturing process.
NGEN HYBRID 0W-12 is approved by the USDA – US Department of Agriculture as part of its BioPreferred Program for certified environmental supporting sustainable oils.
The specific Organic base of NGEN HYBRID 0W-12 enhances all conventional API criteria and requirements while bringing better engine cold start and reduced fuel consumption, and improves oil consumption control.
Compared to known criteria and requirements of the API SP and ILSAC GF-6B standards, but not yet applicable to the innovative viscosity grade SAE 0W-12, all these qualities, MOTUL NGEN HYBRID 0W-12 demonstrates them:

Drain interval: according to manufacturers’ recommendations and tune to your own use.
MOTUL NGEN HYBRID 0W-12 can be mixed with synthetic or mineral oils.
Before use always refer to the owner manual of the vehicle.
