Motul NGEN Hybrid 0w-20 is a high-performance synthetic engine oil specially designed for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) equipped with modern petrol engines. It is formulated to meet the demanding requirements of hybrid technology, including fuel dilution, water emulsion, frequent stop-start systems, and low-temperature operations. This advanced formula is part of Motul's sustainable initiative, featuring 25% organic base derived from renewable vegetable sources and packaged in a container made from 50% recycled and 100% recyclable plastic. This reduces the environmental impact and Motul's carbon footprint by 25% during manufacturing. NGEN HYBRID 0w-20 is also suitable for petrol engines requiring a SAE 0W-20 viscosity grade lubricant with API SP and ILSAC GF-6A standards. It is compatible with catalytic converters and particulate filters. This oil is ideal for vehicles such as Honda, Kia, and Toyota, and can also be used in battery electric vehicles (BEVs) with a range extender gasoline engine. It ensures easy engine cold starts, reduced fuel consumption, and improved oil consumption control.
This guide is for owners of hybrid (HEV/PHEV) and gasoline vehicles requiring a SAE 0W-20 viscosity grade lubricant. The Motul NGEN Hybrid 0w-20 offers superior protection for modern engines, improved fuel efficiency, and reduced environmental impact thanks to its 25% organic base and eco-friendly packaging. A key caveat is ensuring your vehicle specifically requires a 0W-20 oil meeting API SP and ILSAC GF-6A standards.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this oil suitable for my standard gasoline car?
Yes, if your vehicle's owner manual specifies SAE 0W-20 viscosity grade and requires API SP and ILSAC GF-6A standards. It is not a universal fit for all gasoline engines.
What does 'NGEN' stand for and what is the environmental benefit?
'NGEN' refers to Motul's 'Next Generation' initiative. The oil uses 25% organic base derived from renewable vegetable sources and is packaged in a container made from 50% recycled and 100% recyclable plastic, reducing its manufacturing carbon footprint by 25%.
Can I use this oil in a fully electric vehicle (BEV)?
This oil is specifically for the gasoline engine. It is suitable for BEVs that have a small gasoline engine acting as a range extender, but not for the electric powertrain itself.
How often should I change this oil?
Follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended oil change intervals. These can vary based on driving conditions and vehicle model.
What is the difference between HEV and PHEV?
HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) combines a gasoline engine with an electric motor and self-charges its battery. PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) also combines these, but can be plugged into an external power source to recharge its larger battery, offering a longer electric-only driving range.
Is this oil compatible with my car's particulate filter?
Yes, the Motul NGEN Hybrid 0w-20 is formulated to be compatible with particulate filters (GPF/DPF) and catalytic converters.
Troubleshooting
Vehicle engine runs rough after oil change.
Verify the correct oil viscosity (0W-20) and specifications (API SP, ILSAC GF-6A) were used. Double-check the oil level is not overfilled or underfilled.
Oil appears milky or foamy.
This can indicate water contamination or coolant leak. Check for leaks and consult a mechanic. While designed for hybrids, excessive water ingress needs professional attention.
Reduced fuel efficiency observed.
Ensure the oil level is correct. Some initial variation may occur; monitor over a longer period. Confirm no other mechanical issues are present.
