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

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?

      To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.

      I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
