Motul has always been a company at the forefront of motor oil development and has been a pioneer when it comes to the big developments in lubricant technology, such as the first fully syntethic oil, the first semi synthetic oil and the first multigrade oil. The brand is now focusing on the future of oils with another innovative development. 

UK and Ireland Sales and Marketing Manager, Andy Wait says, “As the brand that introduced to the automotive world, arguably the three biggest advances in lubricants in the second half of the 20th Century, we hope that when we describe NGEN, as the “Next Generation of engine oils” the industry take notice.” 

Given the push by OEMs to reduce environmental impact and the fact that Internal Combustion Engine cars that will be on our roads for many years to come, Motul decided to pioneer a sustainable oil in every key aspect, but, vitally, one that does not sacrifice performance in any respect to achieve this sustainability.

The result is Motul NGEN, a regenerated oil that has been subjected to a highly selective treatment process to achieve premium performance. The waste oil is subjected to more than 10 different processes, several different stages of distillation and various filtration processes. Motul’s experience with Ester technology has also means that is actually able to improve on the original oil’s properties, bringing gains such as greater economy, easier start-up and greater durability. 

Motul is using various levels of regenerated oil in launching its NGEN products. NGEN 7, which basically mirrors Motul’s 7100 range, for instance, contains 50% regenerated product in its formulation, while NGEN 5, which equates to Motul’s 5100 series consists of 75% regenerated product. Motul is also extending the NGEN concept to produce a Hybrid lubricant with 25% bio-sourced oil from renewable resources. 

Motul has also made sure that it extends the regeneration concept to its packaging as well, using 50% recycled plastic and the NGEN product containers are, themselves, 100% recyclable. 

This production of regenerated base oils from renewable raw materials also consumes less energy than the production of virgin base oils, resulting in a 25% improvement in CO2 balance through using the process. 

Motul firmly believes NGEN is the future for lubricants and NGEN 5, NGEN 7 and NGEN Hybrid will soon be joined by further NGEN products.
