Manufacturer Datasheet

Thank you for the VOA, was looking for it for a long time.

I'm a bit disappointed, I guess the "sport" part does not appear in a UOA...

Thanks for the VOA. I do have a question, though. The VOA and topic state 5w-50, and the data sheet says 5w-40. Which is it?

By the way, we see the starting TBN. I'm afraid to ask the starting price.

Thank you for the catch! I didn't even notice I snagged the wrong tech sheet. I myself am really curious about this oil. I'd like to suggest using it in the older BMWs we service, along with possibly using is as a replacement for the 10W60 recommended for BMW M cars, but immediately The zinc, phos and moly levels are a little disappointing, so there may be quite a bit going on that's not showing up in the VOA. Might end up running in an '89 325i we have to get some UOAs to base off of.

Price here is less than 40€ for 5L

That's not so bad there. There's only one place that I know of here that sells Motul stuff, and much of it is real niche stuff, and it goes for top dollar. But, Motul is pretty rare on this side of the pond, so I guess we should expect to pay a premium.

 

[Garak]

There very well likely is more than we can see in a VOA, but one does wonder, of course. I shouldn't think Motul to be incompetent at making a performance type oil, though.

Where's the lost 1mg KOH/g of TBN?

Testing methodology?
