Motul V300

[malibuda]

did someone try to put motul v300 in the avensis.

if someone did pls. advise if the cosumption of oil was reduced

v300 has double ester it should be one of the best oils to protect the engine

Motul 300V is a very good race oil.

Consumption will depend viscosity used although consumption will be lower over a semi-synthetic as generally proper synthetics have lower NOACK % numbers meaning that they are less prone to burning off at high temperatures.

300V is one of a few oils on the market (like Silkolene PRO) which are designed for race use but also suitable for road use.

These oils are made with a mixture of poly alpha olefins and esters (proper synthetic basestocks not related to petroleum) esters are the special ingredient.

Esters

All jet engines are lubricated with synthetic esters, and have been for 50 years, but these expensive fluids only started to appear in petrol engine oils about 20 years ago. Thanks to their aviation origins, the types suitable for lubricants (esters also appear in perfumes; they are different!) work well from –50 degC to 200 degC, and they have a useful extra trick.

Due to their structure, ester molecules are “polar”; they stick to metal surfaces using electrostatic forces. This means that a protective layer is there at all times, even during that crucial start-up period. This helps to protect cams, gears, piston rings and valve train components, where lubrication is “boundary” rather than “hydrodynamic”, i.e. a very thin non-pressure fed film has to hold the surface apart. Even crank bearings benefit at starts, stops or when extreme shock loads upset the “hydrodynamic” film.

You'll find the full 300V technical data here:

Hope this helps

i have subaru impreza sti and i use v300 my brother has the avensis and i heard that the engine has trouble with oil cosumption and i was told by a freind of mine that the cosumption (if any) will be less if he put in v300,the engine will have better

protection

pls. your comment on this

thanks

A proper synthetic oil will give benefits in fuel and oil consumption.
