MOTUL 300V Range ? 100% synthetic ESTER Core
Motul has built its reputation on the motorsports range of oil called 300V. Suitably named after exceeding 300 victories achieved with this formulation incorporating Motul?s proprietary Ester technology. Each viscosity is referenced against different engines in different racing categories. Porsche, Nismo and Mugen are but a few. The 300V range is accompanied by competition gear oils, brake fluids and cooling fluids to ensure the highest level of protection and endurance in the most extreme conditions.
The 300V range can be used from the highest level of motorsport down to the everyday level of performance cars. 300V can be used in either spark ignition or compression ignition vehicles which is to say:
- Petrol (Leaded, Race Leaded, ULP, and PULP, Race Unleaded)
- Diesel (Standard, Ultra Low Sulphur, Bio-)
- Ethanol (E85, E100), Methanol and Alcohol
*Warning ? Drain intervals for race fuels, including Ethanol, Methanol and Alcohol fuel types are subject to fuel dilution and water absorption. Neglecting to drain at suitable intervals will cause irreparable engine damage.
To find out more about the Motul 300V range, visit the Motul website HERE.
IMPORTANT ?There is an exciting new product range release for 2015 that all users of E85 need to know about. Read on to find out more!

[MOTUL 8100 Range ? 100% Synthetic
The 8100 range has a comprehensive list of OEM approval oils to suit the modern European vehicles meeting strict Euro 4, Euro 5 and Euro 6 emissions standards.
The range is broken up by 6 categories, 3 categories are for fuel economy, with the remaining 3 categories covering engine protection. What defines these categories relates to SAPS and HTHS.
http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/x...ket/range4.png
What is SAPS and HTHS?
SAPS stands for Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus, Sulphur. All of which are naturally occurring elements in fluids refined from crude oil such as engine oil and diesel fuel.
There is currently a focus to remove these elements from oil and diesel fuel to reduce hazardous emissions and improve fuel economy.
When SAPS enter the combustion cycle on diesel engines, the particles leaving the exhaust will block up DPF?s (Diesel Particulate Filters ? think of it as an air filter on your exhaust) and CRT (Continuously Regenerating Technology ? similar to DPF but it works continuously). The reason for these filters on your exhaust is to capture the black soot and burn it off.
The down side is that SAPS are also antiwear additives, corrosion inhibitors and detergents. New additives are being developed every year to replace SAPS and provide an environmentally friendly lubricant and fuel.
HTHS is a standard test method for measuring viscosity of new and used engine oils at High Temperature and High Shear by a Tapered Bearing Simulator Viscometer at 150?C.
Oils with low HTHS provide improved fuel economy but sacrifice engine protection.
Low HTHS = 2.9-3.5
Oils with a high HTHS provide engine protection over fuel economy.
High HTHS = 3.5 and Above
To find out what the HTHS is for any of the 300V and 8100 range, go to the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and look at the physical properties.
For ease of recognition Motul has prefixed all of the ?Fuel Economy? oils with ?Eco?. The range includes:

These lubricants are suited for engine and gearboxes built between 1900 and 1950. They are a mono-grade mineral oil with a very low detergent level for complete compatibility with paper/ felt/ fabric gaskets.
SAE30 and SAE50 are very high in zinc and have no friction modifiers making them perfect for the running-in of new engines.
Now for the big announcement - New product release for 2015
There is a growing popularity in the use of E85 fuels and even more so now that many states in Australia have it available at the bowser. Significant advantages can be had using E85 fuels which primarily comes down to horsepower. The side effects of using E85 fuels varies depending on what it?s derived from (Corn, Sugar or Wheat) and the degree of hygroscopicity (hygro- ?moisture?, scopic ?seek out or look for?). Simply put E85 sucks water out of the air and will cause rust, corrosion and sludge in your fuel system and engine internals if neglected. One other consequence is that service intervals are reduced dramatically. If you are having to change your oil 3 or 4 times more frequently, Motul can understand why a more cost effective alternative is what you need.
Motul Sport 100% Synthetic Ester range ? NEW FOR 2015!
