Was looking through Motuls engine oil range and came across Nismo Competition Oil 2212E 15W50.

This is the product description below -

100% synthetic racing engine lubricant developed for supercharged-equipped, high output, high torque engines such as RB26DETT, RB25DET, RB20DET ans SR20DET. With its outstanding ability to avoid oil film damage caused by rapid torque increases, high oil temperature and fuel dilution, NISMO COMPETITION OIL by MOTUL is the best protection you can get for your engine.

Has anyone used this oil ? Would love to hear some feedback.

It would be interesting to see how much the nismo stuff costs compared to the 300v Competition.

Found it on ebay for $200 5 litre bottle

Holy crap! Sure it has SOME improvments over the 300v Competition but not enough to warrant that price imo.

Beware racing oil is designed to be raced on then dumped!! It doesn't have the proper blend for extended street use and could sludge up quickly

All brands carry this disclaimer if you look deeper

I'll have to correct you on that because it isn't true in the case of ester synthetics like this. They have very high stability at high temp. so they don't break down quickly to cause the sludge you talk about.

It depends on how you use the car as well. If you street drive it and do some track days then you wouldn't be dumping it straight away if it was fresh oil before the day. If it was a full competition car then you wouldn't even use an oil like this unless you had the money to burn.

Sure it would start to break down and sludge eventually depending on things like: power output, service intervals and how hard you stress the engine.
