I realize the Motul 300V series is racing oil. Isn't GT3 a legal race car on the street? I want to feed my car with best I could. lol

As long as you change it after each run through Starbuck's autocross event, aka drive-thru.

Motul 300V has a different enough chemical make-up that you need to be careful with how often you change it, etc. It's too annoying to deal with.

Also, it's not Porsche approved.

Some random tidbits: https://www.goapr.com/products/motul_oil_300v.html

Motul 300V is a range of engine oils specifically designed for endurance racing and ultra high performance vehicles. Formulated with double esters, 300V has a maximum oil film resistance even at very high temperatures. Friction Modifiers increase power output while also decreasing operating temperature. 300V experiences 0% sheer loss providing stable oil pressure even in the most brutal conditions.

300V's additives and detergents provide excellent engine cleanness. The first time you switch to 300V your oil change will be black as it's cleaning out the engine. Subsequent oil changes will appear cleaner and cleaner as buildup is removed.

300V is offered in a wide array of viscosities targeted to specific racing applications and provides excellent properties such as increase power output, increased flow, quick pressure setup, faster revving and high pressure even at high RPM and high temperature. Choosing the right formula may result in the extra tenth needed to cross the line ahead of your opponent.

300V is not designed for extended oil change intervals, therefore it should be changed after track/race events, at 3000 miles on ultra high performance street vehicles or at 5000 miles on lower performance engines. APR Recommends 300V Power 5w40 for most high performance racing applications and 300V Le Mans 20w60 for 24 hour endurance racing with Audi R8 V10's. APR does not recommend use of low viscosity 300V oils for extended periods of time as the lower viscosity oils were not intended for street or long track use. For help choosing the correct 300V oil, please contact APR.

I use the specifically called-out Mobil 0-40. Purchased 10 qt for 40 bucks last week using an Amazon rebate. Can't beat that.

Grabbed 4 bottles of Motul X-cess 5W40 (5L pack) for my GT3 and CTT. Both car is having oil change next week.

Great stuff. Especially if you live in temperate climates.
