Motul oil
Who here uses Motul oil in their Z? I'm thinking of getting some, mostly because from what I have read, it prevents metal-to-metal contact on cold start-up, which is where most engine wear occurs. Does anyone think the Motul is not worth the money?

How often you have to change the oil (Motul 300V) on a Z equiped with APS TT.
Thx!

royal purple .. the best.
no other arguement.
*no cold start up
*dynos the most out of all oils.(adds 3% to engines hp)
*and its actually purple.
7$ a quart not badd..

resolute, which amsoil do you think would be best for fi? I'm running 0w30 right now on stock block but will be building soon and running a little more boost so not sure if the 0w30 is up to the task as it may be a little thin.

Actually RP is one of the worst. Especially in the VQ. On the lab tests it has shown to have more wear.
If you want the best, you go Amsoil, Redline, or Motul. If you must go to a store bought oil, Penzoil Plat, or Mobil 1.

You beat me to it, obviously this guy has no idea what he is talking about by suggesting RP for the VQ, it is the worst oil for OUR engines!
Do some research before reccomending!
P.S.
I use the Amsoil 0W30, Mobil 1 0W40 and German Castrol 0W30 when I can find it.
I do use Motul but I mix it, the 300V is a racing oil and has almost no cleamers or stabilizers for street use by itself, but mixed with Amsoil or Mobil 1 it works great!

Quad stated that 300V had bad results in oil analysis tests. Higher levels of many metals meaning more wear on engine parts.
I am thinking of just using Mobil 1 0w40 from now on. Seems as though ester based oils like Redline and Motul are not good on a street car.
