I'm oil dumb but have heard good things about Motul. I was interested in the 8100 0w20. Seems cheaper than AO but is it the same quality?
Truth.Nothing special.
It's just a foreign (non-US) brand fetishized here in the USA because marketing and poor availability must mean it's better.

Thought Motul was started here in the US and then went to France and stayed?Nothing special.

I concur with everybody else here that it's a solid product, but for the money you're going to pay, it isn't worth the premium over any run of the mill Mobil 1/Pennzoil/Valvoline product.
Some people are into feet....some....Liquimoly!Nothing special.

If I was going to do all that from FCP Euro I would use something from Driven.If you want to run Motul oils, check out FCP Euro. If you commit to it for more than 1-2, the oil changes will be far less using their Lifetime Replacement system even including return shipping (use pirateship.com for discounted shipping costs) than buying M1 etc. that many will recommend.
Yeah, it appears to have been founded in NY and then their European distributor bought out all the IP and rights to the brand after it was shuttered in 1957 and re-launched it.Thought Motul was started here in the US and then went to France and stayed?
Founded in 1853 in New York, the Swan & Finch company started its activity in the sector of high quality lubricants. As of 1920, it turned to the international markets by exporting some of its portfolio brands like Aerul, Textul, Motul.
In 1932, Ernst Zaug negotiated the distribution in France of products of the Motul brand with Swan & Finch via his company Supra Penn.[1] In 1953, the Swan & Finch centenary was celebrated with the worldwide launch of Motul Century, which became the first multigrade oil on the European market. However, Swan & Finch suspended its activities in 1957. Supra Penn bought back all title deeds and patents pertaining to the Motul brand, which was renamed for the company's chief product, becoming Motul S.A..
Their 300V was my love before Redline and Neo Synthetic. I believe neo was/is Di-ester and that former employees went over to Redline.Other than the 300V range Motul is nothing special, most of their oils are just run of the mill Group 3 stuff.
