Motul 300V 10W-40 Motorsport Engine Oil
after reading this article from the Motul site i decided to try this engine oil and at Au $40/ 2 litres it is the best investment i have made. Smoothness can be felt, and the car seems to re-act very very well to it. If you guys there in the US can get your hands on these I would highly recommend it.
Motul 300V
Lubricants for 4-stroke high-performance engines
Exceed API SH/CF and CCMC G-4/PD-2 or (*) G-5/PD-2 standards
300 V POWER RACING 5W30
300 V POWER 5W40
300 V CHRONO 10W40
300 V COMPETITION 15W50
300 V LE MANS 15W60
100% SYNTHETIC
APPLICATIONS
The goal of racing is to optimize the performance of a given machine for a specific race.
Hence, a single lubricant alone cannot possibly achieve top performance for every engine type in every event. MOTUL MOTORSPORT, thanks to its line-up of four different products, shall match every combination of motors and races. Suit engines of any displacement, whether of recent or past technology (Historic racing car type), multivalve, turbocharged or atmospheric, carburettors as well as fuel-injection, using leaded or unleaded gas, diesel-oil or liquefied gas, and catalytic exhausts.
For the most demanding uses of engines and lubricants :
- car racing
- sporty motoring
- long motorway journeys
- trips too short for a proper warm-up
- heavy hauls (trailers or caravans)
- city use (fuel washout during protracted idle, high running temperature for lack of engine cooling).
PERFORMANCE
Formulated upon esters and extremely efficient antifriction stocks, the 300V's are 100% SYNTHETIC and include no-or quite little (*)-viscosity boosters to achieve an extraordinary high resistance to shear.
The common characteristics along the whole 300V line are :
- a remarkable decrease of the engines internal frictions, which guarantees high performance and reliability, quite often topped with a noticeable decrease of running noises
- a top resistance to high temperature charring - an extreme resistance of the oil film - résistance très élevée du film d’huile
- a low volatility, with quite little evaporation at high temperatures.

SPECIFIC TESTS
- Oil film resistance
Conventional multiple grade mineral and semi-synthetic motor oils, as 100% synthetic super-multigrade lubricants (5W40, 5W50, 10W60...) use additives to boost their viscosity. These viscosity additives tend to loose efficiency when submitted to extreme conditions, which translates into a drop of viscosity and oil pressure.
Since the 300V's of the MOTUL MOTORSPORT line benefit from the natural viscosity of synthetic ester basestocks, they need very little of such additives, or none (*).
The ASTM D 4741 official test of HT/HS* (High Temperature High Shear) viscosity measures the viscosity of lubricants at very high temperature (150°C / 302°F) and shear (1 000 000 s-1). This test is considered to be a good model of the fluid's state when exposed to extreme shear and temperature as found in an engine.
The higher the benchmark, the best the oil film keeps up its viscosity, hence its resistance to high stress in hydrodynamic rating. Tests prove the best results are achieved with a high viscosity grade (50 or 60) at high temperature, and without viscosity boosters.
- Resistance to high temperature coking
While racing, when the engine is pushed to the extreme, or during pit stops and refuellings, the oil temperature reaches maximal values.
Same happens to usual cars when stuck in traffic jams, hard or fast-driven for long journeys, or stopped at busy toll-gates.
Hence the capital attention to avoid the carbonization of lubricants heated to high temperatures.The lubricant residues carbonized through overheating (i.e. charring) are weighed, the best benchmark being a low weight.
The test measures the coking of engine oils at a sustained high temperature (5 days at 160°C / 320°F) and blasted for 48 hours against an aluminum shim heated at 290°C / 554°F.
Tests prove the choice of basestocks, especially synthetic ester bases, to be a major promoter of resistance to high temperature coking.
The 300V's of the MOTORSPORT line reveal virtually almost no coking during this test.

Re: Motul 300V 10W-40 Motorsport Engine Oil (Phat Bastard)
I have that 300V Competition 15W40..
but I am afraid to put them in... so I mix it with the Mobil1 5W30.
SMELL the MOTUL!!! it is different than regular oil!! the color also different!
Crazy stuff.. LOL..
I will try it probably later... since this is summer(HOT) and I am gonna change oil every 1000 Miles... (yes with Synthetic).. LOL..

Re: Motul 300V 10W-40 Motorsport Engine Oil (PiYoImuT)
yeah i use this oil too. very good oil. but also expensive. But one of the best out there. The smell of Motul oil is very distinctive. It smells sweet but the stuff is infact crazy and made my engine run beautifully. I dont regret spending that extra cash on Motul.

I can get the Motul in 5w-30?? Sounds really good. I thought about changing to Redline oil. Anyone in the U.S. have info where to purchase Motul oil?
