Description
Motul 300V POWER 0W-8 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-8 grade is extremely thin: it is meant only for engines built for this viscosity, where the aim is minimal friction losses.
Motul claims no API or ACEA categories and no car-maker approvals, stating that the oil goes beyond current standards.
Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 5.1 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 155, HTHS 1.8 mPa·s, pour point -42 °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, built to run on an extremely thin oil.
Worth knowing
The 300V POWER data sheet narrows the series’ intended use: these oils suit only some engines and are recommended chiefly for qualifying and short sessions, where output at high revs is needed. The series tolerates only slight dilution of the oil by unburnt fuel. This oil’s HTHS is 1.8 mPa·s, a little above the 1.7 mPa·s minimum set for SAE grade 8; the SAE J300 grade limits, together with the minimum HTHS values for the new grades 16, 12 and 8, are collected in the SAE viscosity value table.
The nearest thicker grades of the same series are 0W-16, with an HTHS of 2.3 mPa·s, and 0W-20, with 2.6 mPa·s; Motul advises choosing the viscosity grade from the car’s manual or on the advice of the specialist who tunes the engine. Motul NGEN HYBRID 0W-8 has the same HTHS of 1.8 mPa·s, but it is designed for modern petrol engines in hybrid cars, whereas 300V POWER is aimed at tuned and racing engines.
