Description

Motul 300V POWER 0W-16 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 0W-16 grade is very thin and cuts friction losses in engines designed for this viscosity.

Motul claims no API or ACEA categories and no car-maker approvals, stating that the oil sits above current standards.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 6.9 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 177, HTHS 2.3 mPa·s, pour point -51 °C. Available in 2 litres.

Application

Petrol and diesel engines in tuned road cars and competition cars, naturally aspirated, turbocharged or supercharged, injected or carburetted, designed for a very thin oil.

Worth knowing

The typical HTHS of this oil, 2.3 mPa·s, matches the minimum that SAE J300 sets for grade 16, and its viscosity of 6.9 mm²/s at 100 °C sits inside the range allowed for that grade, 6.1 to 8.2 mm²/s; both limits are given in the updated table of SAE viscosity grades. The data sheet backs its particulate-filter compatibility with two figures given outside the properties table: SAPS 0.85 % by mass and TBN 7.7 mg KOH/g.

If a carmaker calls for 0W-16 with API SQ RC or ILSAC GF-7B in a road car, the Motul oils of this viscosity that claim both codes are Motul 8100 ECO-LITE 0W-16, which also has an HTHS of 2.3 mPa·s, and Motul NGEN HYBRID 0W-16. This racing oil carries no industry categories at all.
