Description

Motul 300V POWER 5W-30 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. It suits engines for which the maker specifies 5W-30 and which are used on track or at high revs.

Motul claims no API or ACEA categories and no car-maker approvals, stating that the oil goes beyond current standards. The emphasis is on power output.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 11.1 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 165, HTHS 3.5 mPa·s, pour point -48 °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, where a 5W-30 viscosity is specified.

Worth knowing

The 300V line has two 5W-30 POWER oils, and Motul’s data sheets separate them by operating conditions. The manufacturer describes this one as suitable for some engines and recommends it chiefly for qualifying and short races where output at high revs is needed; according to the data sheet, it tolerates only a small amount of dilution by unburnt fuel. For Motul 300V POWER RACING 5W-30 the data sheet names rallying and short-distance racing and says that its viscosity compensates for moderate fuel dilution. The hot figures of the two almost coincide: 11.1 and 11.0 mm²/s at 100 °C, HTHS 3.5 mPa·s.

The base number is missing from the data sheet’s table of typical figures but turns up in the section on particulate-filter compatibility: 7.7 mg KOH/g, with the combined sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur content (SAPS) given there as 0.85 % by mass. The 5W-30 designation itself is the example used in the article on what each of the two numbers in an SAE grade means.
