I have read all 4 of the Synthetic Oil threads and nobody mentions Motul. I currently use Mobil 1 with a K&N Filter and love it, but want to switch to something different. I'm thinking on using the 5-30 Motul 8100 Syn with either the K&N filter or either Greddy Filter. Anyone on here use Motul 8100? Is Motul a Group 5 Oil like Redline. I considered Amsoil, Redline and Royal Purple.

motul = expensive

sorry, no experience with the product...

Yeah it will be around $72 for the Oil change using Motul and either K&N filter or Greddy. I usually pay around $58 for an oil change using Mobil 1.

never used motul either.i used 0w20 Ammsoil, with a Hamp Filter

Unless you do any extensive HPDE events and such, you won't notice any difference between Motul and $2 Valvoline.

You should see a difference.. the first being the the two dollar valvoline stuff isn't synthetic

IT GUY

The advantage of synthetic over conventional oil was its resistance to thermal breakdown, in a daily driver thermal breakdown is not an issue

LOL if you drive an SI they way most of us do it could become an issue some people just VTEC all Day

civic710

what about pennzoil platium? i'll be using that mainly because it's free. but might want to use something else...

IT GUY

I'm not saying don't run synthetic (I run Royal Purple)

just don't see too much difference in cheap mobil1 and motul, at least in a DD

xjessx

IT guy, c'mon 8k redline. There is thermal breakdown daily

I don't think you even know what synthetic means.

Why do you say that? I actually used to work for Valvoline. Thus why i was happy to reply. I almost never see anyone on here mention Valvoline.

Whooptie doo. That tells me nothing. By your posts so far, you probably know your product about as much as Seth knew about Farrow Tech.

I see what you're saying. I mean honestly I don't drive my car daily, it's more of a weekend car. I guess my main reasoning for the expensive oil change is because I love to have the best in my baby. Plus when I do drive it, I drive the hell out of it. I've been totally pleased with Mobil.

Wow. Just wow. Can anyone participate in a thead without being insulted/bashed and having a bunch of thread ****** being uppity? What's the big deal? If you want to recommend two dollar a quart oil to everyone fine.

But i think that would imply that most of us are stupid for using full syn if we don't do track days...

Perhaps if you actually brought something informative/intelligent to this forum, you wouldn't get insulted. All of your posts seem like they were written by some 10 year old moron.

I've used Motul before. Previous cars I ran Motul with my turbo Civics in the brake, clutch and engine oil. I honestly can't say it made any difference from Mobil 1. Butt dyno no register, wallet dyno hurt from the $12 per quart. Went to Neo oil which is next to Baker Precision over here in Socal, they're oil supposively made a few ponies on the dyno. Might try that next.

Thank you

I'm curious: You said you've been using M1 " . . . and love it . . . but want to switch to something different." Why?

More specifically, what are you expecting Motul will do for an unmodified 2-liter Civic Si motor that M1 doesn't?

The reason I considered a switch is because I like to have the best I can buy in my car. Thats just how I am, I am not expecting to gain any HP. Motul is a good oil and better than Mobil 1. I don't do any track driving, or even use it as a daily driver. I just want to best I can buy for my car, point blank. And the answer to your last question is protects better. I'm not bashful when I do drive the car, it constantly sees redline.

do your homework, buy amsoil, i use it, and contrary to popular belief mobile1 does break down over time, statistically amsoil outperforms all other synthetics.
