5 things you should know about the 300V Power Racing 5W30

• - The SAE 5W-30 viscosity enables to compensate medium engine oil dilution by unburned fuel

Another effect of fuel leaking into the crankcase is oil dilution. This causes the lubricant to lose viscosity, meaning that the films formed are weaker and less capable of withstanding high loads that can occur at certain points, such as the rod bearings and crankshaft areas.

What happens if the viscosity becomes too low? This causes contact between the metal surfaces, leading to rapid wear of the bearings due to friction.

As the fuel is subject to high temperatures in the crankcase, some of it evaporates, meaning that, in the case of diesel fuel, the portion of biofuel becomes concentrated. This causes the biodiesel to be less fluid and more viscous than the diesel fuel, which causes the lubricant to thicken.

• - It provides maximum oil film resistance at very high temperature therefore reducing engine wear.

youtuber, Piotr Tester did a friction test to simulate engine operation. And Motul 300V 5W-30 scored an astonising 0.10 mark where the result is lower the better.

• - It has a friction modifier - maximum power output, decrease operating temperature.

POWER & TORQUE 300V

Power and torque performances: increased witht he latest evolution of 300V based Ester Core technology.  Test performed on 3.6 Porsche Cup racing engine.

• - It reduces considerably oil consumption thanks to its low volatility properties.

Oil Consumption Follow-Up 300V

• - Is suitable for Rally or Short distance races
