Description

Motul 300V COMPETITION 15W-50 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 heavy 15W-50 grade is intended for heavily loaded engines 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 17.9 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 168, HTHS 5.3 mPa·s, pour point -39 °C. Available in 2, 5, 20 and 60 litres.

Application

Petrol and diesel engines in tuned road cars and competition cars, naturally aspirated, turbocharged or supercharged, injected or carburetted, that need a heavier oil.

Worth knowing

This oil’s data-sheet figures are almost identical to those of NISMO COMPETITION OIL 2212E 15W-50, which Motul developed with NISMO: 17.9 and 17.7 mm²/s at 100 °C, the same HTHS of 5.3 mPa·s and the same pour point of -39 °C, and no industry categories claimed for either. Where they differ is the target engine: NISMO 2212E was created for turbocharged Nissan SR and RB engines, while 300V COMPETITION is for tuned and racing engines in general.

In the COMPETITION series itself, the 5W-50 has the same 17.9 mm²/s at 100 °C, but with an HTHS of 5 mPa·s and a pour point of -45 °C. What sets them apart is the winter grade: the maximum cranking viscosity is tested at -20 °C for 15W and at -30 °C for 5W, as the table of SAE viscosity grades shows. The data sheet suggests agreeing the change interval with the specialist who services the engine and adjusting it to your own pattern of use.
