Hi,
7TFord - Motul make a range of formulations - Grp2, Grp3, Grp4 and Grp4/5 as I understand it. Some are application specific, especially V300 in certain viscosities
Like FUCHS and ExxonMobil they have a lot of experience with esters
The one you mention is probably Grp4
Their volume sellers are Grp3 - synthetic as you know it in NA, and semi-synthetic as we do!
As a lubricant they are of good quality but nothing special and some probably compare well with some Amsoil products. They will buy their ingredients from the "Majors" of course
Some have various Manufacturer Approvals so they are on the ball!
Motul was formed in New York in 1853 and made whale oil for lanterns. It was once owned by Standard Oil of New Jersey
The Zaugg family purchased it and moved the lot to France about 1932
