VOA Motul 8100 Power 5W-40 with Esters.

 

[fantastic]

The viscosity looks fantastic on his grade of oil. Nice!

 

[Jetronic]

not much ester in it with an oxidation level of 13.... as in none at all

Not thrilled. Not sure what is the point between X-Cess being stout as it is and 300V, where this oil falls? Zinc is also low for such oil.

I would always take HPL over this oil. Mobil 1 0-40 Euro also.

Are we sure all esters show up as “false oxidation”?

Yes they contain oxygen in the polar head, and have a carbohydrate tail

I think this is “vollsynthetisch” so it might sell to some that won’t buy HC oils in Europe etc. Still, I agree. Well, actually it might not even qualify for that anymore.

It doesn’t have any approval. I think it is aimed at street/track folks. 300V is IMO still best oil for folks wanting something special.
