No. I don't think any Motul oil is better then M1. It's also bad to have any oil that is 100% ester based for a street driven car. You need some PAO mixed in. If your looking for a good 40wt oil, I'd give the new Amsoil 5w-40 a shot. I think this oil is going to be good. HT/HS of 4.2 and a Noak of 5.5%.quote:
what you guys thinking of Motul 8100 E-tech 0w-40 ester engine oil? Better oil than Mobil1 0w-40?
Well, you *can* use a 100% ester oil on street cars. Whether or not it's a good idea ....quote:

Why cant use 100% ester oil on street cars?
I'm with Buster on both counts...I do NOT believe Motul is better than M1, especially if better includes consideration of all the specs...M1 0W40 qualifies for MB 229.5; according to your specs list above...Motul 8100 E-Tech does not. I also agree with Buster on the second assertion. My gut tells me Amsoil 5W40 Euro Oil is gonna be a great one...(don't worry, my SLX is down in the oil cellar; it can't see this emailquote:

Since I don't KNOW if Motul is good or not, I won't speculate if it is better or worse than BC; however, for now, I would go with the BC because I feel more comfortable with the formulation when doing long OCIs in a street engine. This is what I should have said in the comparison to M1.quote:
How do you guys think it would compare with BC??
