Motul 300v - Duration Of Oil Change

[Rekin]

Hi,

Ive decided to test out motul 300v chrono oil on my r32 and the results have been awesome.

The car idles much smoother and quieter.

Just wanted to know how long I could drive on this oil before replacing. Being such an expensive oil I would like to think it would last longer than your regular oils.

My previous oil (martini) was changed every 5000km but wasnt as expensive or fancy as the 300v.

Would the 300v be fine up to 7500km or 10000km?

The car is a daily and will see one motorkhana event in the next 5000km.

Should i bother changing it every 5000km for a daily or can i stretch it out to 7500 / 10000km?

Thanks

Patrick

wont it take you around six months to reach the 5000k mark?

...cant sting that much if you love your car hey?

I do mine every 5000, however i don't see a problem doing it every 7500 (I dont put that many km's on the car, so 5000km lasts me a while).

I'd say 10000 would be pushing it though.

My car is a daily used for work and uni, so i do a bit of driving. I usually do 5000km in about 3 months.

As the motul is 2-3x more expensive than the regular oils, wanted to know if it had a longer lifespan due to its quality. Didnt want to dump $100 every couple of months when it can easily last more kilometers.

Its fully synth, they can easy last 10,000 KMs infact Ive read that changing fully synth oils before 10,000 KMs is pointless.

Mate my 2 cents is you are over doing it with 300v in gtst unless it's heavily moded rb20. I had gtst and Motul 4100 10-40w is just fine if you change it every 3 mts or 5k wichever comes first. Of course if money is no issue then go with 300v.

Also any good quality semi syn oil is fine if you change it frequently and if you buy bulk (20l) can it's even cheaper!

Oh and don't forget after any track work oil change is a must.

What do you mean by heavily modified? My car currently has rebuilt hks2530 and will be pushing about 220kw atw after tune. Went with motul 300v for the sake of the new turbo.

I'll try 4100 next time.

Hey pat, send a pm to Athid (the guard roller from melb). He is a Motul rep, last time I spoke to him he said 10,000 would be fine ( I think they did a 25,000km test in his company car on 300V and the oil was still fine and they had it tested for metal content etc) but it depends on your car and how you drive. I usually change it at least every 6 months regardless of km's, but if you're doing heaps of track days or the oil starts getting abit dark then change it earlier.

Yep, digging up an old thread, but didn't want to start a new one.

I've had the 300V in for approx 3 months, and have only done around 1000k's which included 2 track days. On both track days brakes went pretty early so really didn't push that much. (1st day cracked the rear rotors, second day cracked the fronts :-) ) Should i change?
