Think of an engine as the beating heart of your car. Regular servicing and oil changing are perhaps the most important things that you can do to keep it working longer and healthier. For ordinary daily driving, you should follow the manufacturer's recommendations, found either in your service handbook or on the in-car display. If you track your car, it's best to change its engine oil at shorter intervals.

As elementary as this may seem, it's unbelievable how many car owners often neglect oil changes. Engine oil is what keeps your engine lubricated and clean. If you ignore regular oil changes, the oil in your engine can become extremely dirty and cause your car's performance to be dreadfully sluggish. It will also result in serious damage to your engine and finances.

If you, like us car nuts, are particular about what goes into your car and only want to give it the best, it's high time you tried Motul's premium range of engine oils.

What's Motul?

Motul is a French company producing high-performance automotive oils and industrial lubricants for more than 160 years. The company is also known for its heavy involvement in motorsports. 160 years - that's more than a century and a half of uninterrupted activity, which has allowed Motul to constantly modernise itself and climb to the vanguard of technology.

Motul created a stir in 1971 by developing a 100 percent synthetic oil made from esters of vegetal origin, drawing on aeronautical technology. As a tribute to the 300 victories obtained by the brand at that date, this revolutionary lubricant was called '300V'. To demonstrate the validity of this innovation, Motul participated at the highest competition level in Formula One with the team Frank Williams-Motul in 1971.

Motul enjoys worldwide repute and is unanimously recognised for the quality of its products, capacity to innovate and involvement in the world of competition.

300V - Motorsport Benchmark

To withstand the extreme mechanical stresses in racing and our hot Singapore weather, engine oils must ensure optimal and consistent performances.

As a leading figure in motor racing, Motul develops and validates its lubricants under the most extreme racing conditions and thus takes advantage of the best laboratory results. Apart from its tough race-bred oils, Motul also has a range of oils, fuel cleaners, coolants, brake fluids and transmission lubricants for regular, everyday cars.

Motul's most acclaimed, top-of-the-line product is 300V, a 100 percent synthetic racing oil (based on ESTER Core Technology) with much technical expertise crammed into it. Mechanics at races like the Dakar Rally or 24 hours of Le Mans endurance race run 300V in the competition vehicles they service, and it's the exact same product that you can buy off-the-shelf at your local authorised Motul dealer or service provider.Racing oils like 300V provide the same things that regular engine oils do - improve power, protect your car's engine, and improve the reliability and longevity of engine components. However, unlike regular engine oils, 300V is designed - as is typical of a racing lubricant - to provide optimal engine protection under extreme conditions and has more frequent replacement intervals.

But besides racing cars, avid motorsport enthusiasts, whose vehicles are in high states of tunes or used regularly at track days or motorsport events, should also use 300V.

Extensive product range for daily practical needs 

For everything else, there is Motul's extensive 8100 and H-TECH range, which are also 100 percent synthetic oils. European car owners who demand exceptional engine oil performance may look at 8100 X-Cess 5W40, which meets most of the European car manufacturer's standards. 8100 X-Cess 5W40 helps improve engine power and responsiveness, and reinforces anti-wear protection for longer engine life.

Another member of the 8100 family is 8100 X-CLEAN+ 5W-30, a 100 percent synthetic lubricant, specially designed for lastest generation of cars from the Volkswagen group, Mercedes-Benz and BMW.

For Japanese and Korean makes, Motul's H-TECH range (H-TECH 100 PLUS 10W40, H-TECH 100 PLUS 0W20 and H-TECH PRIME 5W40) promises exceptional value for money and fuel economy. The H-TECH range also provides exceptional engine protection, greater
power and ensures emission control systems durability.

We let our MyCarForum members test various Motul engine oils. One of them, Peter Lim, who used 300V Power 5W40 on his Volkswagen Golf GTI, said that he noticed an increase in power and smoothness, and will recommend this product to everyone.

Another member, Robin, who used 8100 X-Cess 5W40 on his Audi A3, said that the engine felt smooth and responsive after the change. The engine at idle, too, was quieter. Member Kelvin tested the H-TECH Prime 5W40 on his Subaru XV and also noticed that his engine was much smoother and quieter than before.
