Motul 300v 10w40 in a Scooter

[dowlf]

I have a 2014 Genuine Hooligan with a 169cc motor. It has a little over 1100 miles on it now. I just drained out some Rotella T that had about 600 miles on it. I got some Motul 300V 4T Competition Synthetic Oil from a friend that had to get rid of his bike, and had 2 4L jugs left over. He just gave them to me.

I put the Motul in and took it for a spin around town. I was amazed at how much quieter the engine is with this oil. It is much quieter at all throttle levels. Even with the throttle wide open, it is very quiet. I am very happy with this oil so far, and I have enough to get me by for a long time to come.

I'll do a UOA sometime soon to see how it holds up.

You're comparing it, with Rotella T6?

No, it had the 15w40 in it before.

cheap oil is good, free oil is better, free synthetic is best

Anecdotally I noticed the 300V made my Audi's motor run quieter the two times I used it.
