Description

Motul 300V POWER RACING 5W-30 is a fully synthetic, ester-based racing oil from the 300V line (Motul ESTER Core technology). It is intended for race-prepared petrol and diesel engines, turbocharged or naturally aspirated, injected or carburetted, and is aimed primarily at rallying and short-distance racing.

Motul lists no API or ACEA categories and no car-maker approvals, stating that the oil goes beyond current motorsport standards.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 11 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 165, HTHS 3.5 mPa·s, pour point -48 °C, base number 8 mg KOH/g. Available in 2 litres.

Application

Race-prepared petrol and diesel engines, turbocharged or naturally aspirated, injected or carburetted, in rallying and short-distance events.

Worth knowing

The data sheet for this oil gives no change interval and refers the reader to a tuning service; for alcohol-based fuels it adds a separate caveat: the oil is suitable, but with a shortened change interval. The recommendations also say not to mix it with other synthetic or mineral oils if the engine is to give its best output; the wider question of why any mixing of oils remains a last resort is covered in the article on synthetic and mineral oil.

For a road car whose manual requires API SP, the Motul 5W-30 oils that claim it include Motul 8100 POWER 5W-30. The figures in the data sheets differ: HTHS 3.5 mPa·s here against 3.2 in 8100 POWER, flash point 232 °C against 248 °C, base number 8.0 against 7.9 mg KOH/g.
