Prices may varyThe manufacturer's Safety Data Sheet classifies this product with one or more GHS Category 1 health hazards — the most severe tier. The hazard statements in quotes below are the verbatim GHS language from the SDS, as required by OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard. The line under each statement translates the GHS classification into plain language.
GHS Category 1 aspiration toxicity — thin, oily liquids can slip into the lungs if swallowed, causing chemical pneumonia.
GHS Category 1 eye damage — classified as causing irreversible eye damage on contact.
If swallowed or splashed in eyes:
The aspiration hazard (H304) is about the liquid being swallowed and reaching the airway, not about breathing fumes during normal use.
Call Poison Control immediately at 1-800-222-1222 (US, 24/7, free) and have the product container with you. Poison Control's standing guidance is to not induce vomiting after chemical exposure; they will direct first-aid steps based on the specific product.

Scope of these PPE tiers. The tiers on this page translate the product's Safety Data Sheet where one is published, plus its ingredient chemistry, into a comparable rating. They describe a formulation, not a situation: a tier is not a safety determination for any specific user, task, quantity, or environment. The manufacturer's label and use instructions govern how the product is handled. Where the product is used at work, the employer's PPE program and hazard assessment under 29 CFR 1910.132 decide what protection is selected, not this page.

TL;DR A PEA-plus-solvent gasoline fuel system cleaner: the SDS confirms polyetheramine for injectors and intake valves, with an aromatic-solvent package extending cleaning to combustion-chamber deposits. Motul is a trusted lubricant name, but this US listing is new with no independent test data yet. Health 4.0/10 (Serious Hazard): DANGER, serious eye damage (H318) at concentrate, so wear sealed goggles.
The SDS confirms polyetheramine as the detergent active, backed by a volatile solvent package (an aromatic carrier plus a ketone and an alcohol co-solvent). That chemistry credibly reaches the whole system: the detergent lifts injector and intake-valve deposits, the solvents dissolve combustion-chamber varnish, and the alcohol fraction disperses tank moisture. Motul positions it as periodic maintenance: one 300 ml can treats up to 60 liters, poured in before a refuel. The multi-system claim fits the chemistry, but no independent test data corroborates it.
Best for gasoline-engine owners (port injection, direct injection, or carbureted) wanting a maintenance additive to keep injectors, valves, and chambers clean, especially after non-Top-Tier fuel. Skip it if you run Top Tier gasoline; the OEM detergent package already prevents these deposits. Skip it for misfires or injector failure beyond typical fouling, where professional service is the right call. Not for diesel; Motul sells a separate Diesel System Clean.
SDS §2 is DANGER, driven by H318 (serious eye damage) and H304 (aspiration hazard), with H315, H332, H335, H336, and H373 also classified; the US label reads "EYE CORROSIVE." Sealed goggles suit the pour, with gloves and ventilation given the aromatic carrier and -9°C flash point. Do not induce vomiting if ingested; seek medical attention (H304). The product combusts in the engine; exhaust is the environmental endpoint.
The product listing states it is safe for engines with or without a catalytic converter and lists port injection, direct injection, and carbureted gasoline engines as compatible. PEA-class chemistry is relevant to GDI intake-valve carbon, where the port is not fuel-washed. The brand makes no separate O2-sensor claim on this listing; verify with the manufacturer for unusual applications.
One 300 ml can treats a fuel tank up to 60 liters (about 16 gallons) · a single fill-up for most vehicles. Motul positions it as a periodic maintenance additive: pour it in before you refuel and drive normally, using it at regular intervals and more often in city driving.
No. This is the gasoline version. Motul sells a separate Diesel System Clean formulated for diesel performance · use that product for diesel engines. This can is labeled for gasoline engines only.
