300V is not API certified or formulated or emission systems compliance since it is a motorsport product. If that is a concern of yours, the 8100 oils mentioned might be a better fit. It is true that phosphorous is poisonous to catalytic converters over time but does not have too much of an immediate or short term impact.

There aren't really any issues with counterfeit product in North America. We don't have preferred vendors online- Amazon, Summit Racing, Rally Sport Direct are all consistent sources for Motul.- Nick

While all those products will perform well in any Porsche application, they are definitely quite different in what they are made to achieve. 8100 oils can and achieve very high performance levels without question but are limited by the API and the OEM requirements to stay within a certain window in terms of formulation. A lot of that focus is on emissions equipment and fuel economy so if that is not a concern of yours then a product like Sport or 300V might be a better choice for you- not everyone, especially people with cars under warranty.

If you want the best performing oil possible from Motul, then the 300V is the only option. 300V is used right off the shelf by some of the most prestigious and decorated car/engine builders in racing series' all around the world ie McLaren GT, Gibson (LMP2 engine manufacturer) in WEC, 24 Hours of Le Mans, IMSA, Blancpain and many more.

For Porsche and from a pure power perspective, we engine dynoed this product on a 3.6L Porsche Cup engine recently- we saw a 4.3-7HP increase and a 1.2% TQ improvement vs the market leaders (0W40 vs 5W/0W40's). In large part this is due to the group 5 esters we use. They have a much lower traction coefficient vs traditional synthetics (group 3 and 4) and help create more power. 300V is also heavily friction modified for maximum HP and TQ.

From a reliability standpoint, the ester molecule is also virtually unbreakable and can withstand very high oil temperatures, this means the viscosity retention is very high- this also leads to additive retention which can drop out when the oil begins to deteriorate. That will lead to a loss of anti wear additives, detergents, dispersents and other important ingredients that make up an oil's formulation. Because of its unique formulation, 300V's shear stability and it's ability to combat oil consumption is unmatched. We have reports back from our technical partners that since switching to 300V, they have experienced up to 25% longer engine life.

In the end, the purpose of this product is to maximize horsepower and reliability with no compromises.

Sport will fit somewhere in the middle here. It will not have the level of performance of 300V but will be a modest bump in performance vs an 8100 product.

I hope that answers your questions.- Nick

This is partially true but with intention. With our ester technology, it allows us to maximize horsepower by keeping the cSt's down in our 300V oil while maintaining maximum lubricity and oil film strength even on the lower end of the scale. The esters allow for this at no risk to the engine and will have similar lubricity properties of a higher cSt oil of the same grade. If you see my post above you will see some more info about the shear stability of this product as well.

If you still aren't convinced, you can use the 300V 15W50 or the Sport 5W50 w/ Ester.- Nick
