Motul Oils- Which One Is Better For My Gtr!

[glaze]

Hi Guys,

Just wondering which oil is better for my R32GTR. Motul 300v Chrono 10w40 or the 4100 turbolight. My cars only mods are exhaust and coilover suspension and will stay this way for a while and running stock boost. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

The 300V is 100 percent synthetic....

There are heaps of threads on this and i dont know alot... but i know its a better choice (and more expensive one) then the turbolight 4100

I use 300V. Wouldn't use anything else.

Hey Remix, r u using it in a GTR? Thanks for the info guys.

300V is great oil but probably overkill on a street car (others would beg to differ )

4100 is only a semi-synthetic, which means it's about 15% synthetic and 85% dino juice.

I would go for the Motul 8100 5W-40 myself, either that or the 300V and do an oil analysis at 5000km to find out what it's like. You would probably find the 300V will last for extended oil change intervals if you're not being hard on it (track work).

I'll be putting 8100 5W-40 in tomorrow when I do the oil change.. I'll let you know how it goes compared to penrite

For what it's worth, I've read that the 4100 is better for the older motors. It was something about the detergents in the full synthetics cleaning too much of the gunk accumulated in the bores and suffering blow-by as a result.

Thanks boys, i may try the 300v, hear thats pretty good.

[Hulk1010]

is it just called motul 300V, or is there another product code, just so i know which one to get?

[AzzurrA]

motul 300v chrono is the stuff you're after, from what i've read on the motul site

[Hulk1010]

^^ the 10w40?

I use 8100 XCESS and it is good shit!!

Considering you have a stock motor, you might aswell go between the two products. The 8100 would do a good job. 300V is overkill and the 4100 is nothing out of the ordinary.

cowie165, thats an old wives tale. Its like saying you should warm your car up for 10 minutes each morning.

i've been using the motul 4100 10w40 for a while, no complaints here. Though i'm thinking of moving to a higher weight 10w50 or something, so might give mobil1 a shot.

hard to compare 4100 to 300v chrono, because the 300v is more than double the price or something...

[nuffsaid]

why not just go the oil thats the between the two ones

the motul 8100, cheaper than 300v and probably still a good oil, a tiny bit more expensive than the 4100 and probably better

Good to know!

8100 - $60 for 5 litres..

Got it put in today.. not sure yet what the difference will be.. but I think it's feeling a bit easier already (oil changes do that)..

[Beer Baron]

dont be tight. it's a GTR. buy the best and the best imo is the motul chrono 300V.

[ish]

I found this link ...Although it dosent relate totaly to motul its very interesting the differences between the ratings ...

Maybe we all should be running Diesel Synthets
