what type of oil to use?
Tom, If I ever implied that Mobil 1 was not a true synthetic, or that it was not a good product, I apologize. It in just that in the engine oil industry, the term synthetic has been corrupted. Glass could be interpreted as synthetic sand, but we know it as glass. It is important for the...- Motul Bob

what type of oil to use?
Tom, my sources are the Motul Tech department in Europe. Group IV PAO is ethylene chemistry, it is the polymerization of olfeinic compounds. Where do they get this parafinic mineral base that they start to sythesise- from crude oil. Ultimately, that is where it all begins. There are even...- Motul Bob

what type of oil to use?
Tom, No need to start an oil war. Just trying to clarify some facts. Group III&IV are both synthesised crude oil. They both start with mineral oil, and use different processes to achieve different relsults. Base stocks make a HUGE difference in the quality of the oil, and then the...- Motul Bob

what type of oil to use?
All oils are not created equal. Group I= mineral based Group II= mineral based Group III= hydrocracked or hydroformed Group IV= PAO (polyalphaolefin) Group V= esters Groups I&II are direct refined crude. Groups III&IV are synthesised refined crude. Group V is a combination of fatty acid...- Motul Bob

what type of oil to use?
No need to worry with Motul 300V. Full additive package which includes detergents and dispersants. Safe for the street, but really shines at the track. JGarrett ran 4 Viper events and several miles in between, and the oil analysis looked very good. The on board telemetry shows that the...- Motul Bob

Anyone using Motul 600 Brake Fluid
Steve-Indy, that is a tough question to answer. You are correct that SRF says 18 months due to "proprietary additives". Because there are so many variables, I would say 12-18 months should be okay, with some occasional "lapping" included. RBF 600 does meet DOT 4 specs. It should be fine in...- Motul Bob

Anyone using Motul 600 Brake Fluid
I was addressing the allegation that Motul is more hygroscopic than SRF. SRF is a good product. It has boiling points of 590 dry and 511 wet. RBF 600 is 594 dry and 421 wet. The issue is whether the fluids absorb moisture at different rates. From the trackside tests that I have done, the...- Motul Bob

Anyone using Motul 600 Brake Fluid
Hello, I am new to the board and very interested in this discussion. I have been working with the Viper Days since last year. Motul is now a series sponsor of the VRL/NRL. I can give you some information from data I have collected from doing trackside tests on Motul RBF 600. RBF 600 and SRF...- Motul Bob
