Motul tech says group 3+ on phone conversation

[GI_GRIFF]

Can someone tell me what the difference is between group 3+ and group just Group 3? The Motul tech guy said their 8100 series is group 3+ base stocks

Not an exact classification - indicates more severe cracking for tracking that It’s closer to higher group performance …

Motul says many things and after need to fix it's words and advertising like in Germany.
Depend on which 8100, basically not, most 8100 are good G3 with little G3+ sometimes.

It’s not an official designation but some will unofficially call GTL base oils group 3+ since they are closer in performance to that of a PAO base oil.
