Ok experts... help me understand the difference (if any) between the two 300V's that Motul offers. I did search here and didn't come up with anything other than comparisons of 300V to non-Motul brands. I'm looking specifically at 300V vs. 300V.

The "300V Factory" (https://www.motul.com/us/en-US/products/300v-factory-line-road-racing-5w40) is pitched as "for motorcycle road racing" and the "300V Power" (https://www.motul.com/us/en-US/products/300v-power-5w40--2) is pitched as "for automotive road racing."

I'm guessing that the motorcycle stuff has some kind of additive for wet clutch life? Anybody know any other real differences? Anybody know of any real downsides to running the "motorcycle" oil in an automotive racing engine? (I have to imagine this is no different than running it in, say, a Ducati, of which most have a dry clutch anyways).

Reason I'm primarily concerned with this is just because I have a personal hookup on Motul 300V and get a way better price on the "motorcycle" stuff...
 
It's the other way around...motorcycle oil doesn't have friction modifiers than can burn your clutch plates and on top of that it has to have outstanding shearing stability since the engine oil is shared with the gearbox.

Hope this answer your question.
