Product Information
Full details
The Motul Cetane Booster - 300ml is for diesel engine owners seeking improved fuel combustion and engine performance. Its key benefit is increasing the cetane number of diesel fuel, leading to smoother operation and better response. A potential caveat is that results may vary based on fuel quality and engine condition. This additive enhances combustion quality, reduces engine knock, improves acceleration and cold starts, and boosts driving comfort, particularly under load. It is safe for all diesel engines, including those with turbochargers, DPFs, and those running on biodiesel blends.

FAQs
How often should I use Motul Cetane Booster?
For optimal results, it can be used periodically, such as every few thousand kilometers, during routine fuel tank refills, or particularly before challenging driving conditions or during cold weather.
Will this void my engine warranty?
No, Motul Cetane Booster is designed to be safe for all diesel engines and is not expected to void any manufacturer's warranty when used as directed.
Can I use this with all types of diesel fuel?
Yes, it is compatible with standard diesel, premium diesel, and biodiesel blends. It is safe for engines with or without DPFs.
What is the cetane number and why is it important?
The cetane number measures the combustion quality of diesel fuel. A higher cetane number indicates that the fuel ignites more readily under compression, leading to a smoother burn, reduced engine knock, and improved performance.
How much fuel does one 300ml bottle treat?
Typically, a 300ml bottle is designed to treat a standard passenger car diesel fuel tank, generally around 50-60 liters. Always check the product label for specific recommendations.
What is the difference between octane and cetane?
Octane rating applies to gasoline engines and measures resistance to knocking. Cetane rating applies to diesel engines and measures ignition quality. They are not interchangeable.
Can I mix this with other fuel additives?
It is generally recommended to use one type of fuel additive at a time. While unlikely to cause harm, combining additives may lead to unpredictable results. It's best to use Motul Cetane Booster on its own.
Troubleshooting
No noticeable difference in engine performance.
Ensure the correct dosage was used and that the additive has had sufficient time and fuel consumption to take effect. Performance gains can be subtle and depend on the initial fuel quality and engine condition.
Engine warning light illuminated after use.
This product is safe for DPF systems. If a warning light appears, it may indicate an unrelated engine issue. Consult your vehicle's manual or a qualified mechanic.
Additive seems to have separated or is cloudy.
This is generally not an issue if stored correctly. Ensure the bottle is shaken gently before use if any stratification is observed. If the product appears significantly degraded or contaminated, do not use it.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly boosts cetane number for better combustion.
- Noticeable improvement in engine response and acceleration.
- Reduces engine knocking and vibration for a smoother ride.
- Aids in easier cold starts.
- Safe for modern diesel engines with DPFs and biodiesel.
- Enhances overall driving comfort and perceived power.
Cons
- Effectiveness can depend on initial fuel quality.
- May require consistent use for sustained benefits.
- Results might be less pronounced in engines already using high-cetane fuel.
- Not a substitute for regular engine maintenance.
- The 300ml size is suitable for a specific number of fuel tank fills.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use Motul Cetane Booster, simply pour the recommended amount directly into your diesel fuel tank *before* filling up with diesel. This ensures the additive mixes thoroughly with the fuel. For the 300ml bottle, it is typically designed to treat a standard fuel tank capacity (e.g., up to 50-60 liters). Always refer to the product label for precise dosage instructions.
Compatibility: This product is formulated to be safe for all types of diesel engines. This includes engines that are turbocharged, naturally aspirated, equipped with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), or designed to run on biodiesel blends. It is compatible with both standard and premium diesel fuels.
Care: Store the bottle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not ingest.
