Description

Motul 300V COMPETITION 10W-40 is a fully synthetic, ester-based racing oil from the 300V line (Motul ESTER Core technology) for petrol and diesel engines in tuned road cars and competition cars. The 10W-40 grade is meant for engines whose makers specify exactly this viscosity, including rebuilt and historic racing engines.

Motul claims no API or ACEA categories and no car-maker approvals, stating that the oil goes beyond current standards. According to Motul, it is compatible with fuels up to E85 and with particulate filters, and protects against low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI).

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 13.8 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 157, HTHS 4.3 mPa·s, pour point -42 °C. Available in 2 and 5 litres.

Application

Petrol and diesel engines in tuned road cars and competition cars, naturally aspirated, turbocharged or supercharged, injected or carburetted, where a 10W-40 viscosity is specified.

Worth knowing

In the STANDARDS section of the data sheet, where categories and approvals would normally go, there is only the phrase “Above existing standards”. It is the oil maker’s own wording: no carmaker or register confirms it. How such a claim differs from an approval and from “meets the requirements” is explained in the article on how to check an oil approval.

For a road car whose service book requires ACEA A3/B4 or VW 505.00, Motul offers 10W-40 oils meant for a different job: Motul 6100 SYNERGIE+ 10W-40 with VW 501.01, VW 505.00, MB 229.3 and Renault RN0710 approvals, and 4100 TURBOLIGHT 10W-40 with VW 501.01, VW 505.00 and MB 229.3 approvals, both ACEA A3/B4. Outside its properties table, in the section on particulate-filter compatibility, the 300V COMPETITION 10W-40 data sheet also gives a SAPS content (sulphated ash, phosphorus, sulphur) of 0.91 % by mass and a base number of 8.1 mg KOH/g. For 6100 SYNERGIE+ the base number is 10.4 mg KOH/g.
