pretty much one of the best engine oil money can buy. It is made from Grade 5 based oil while others have grade 2 or 3 based oil.Pls tell me your experience using Motul oil
for those not understanding these grade ... here is some info ..
" Base stocks are divided into five groups, Bachelder notes. Groups I-III are basic crude oil fractions, with little extra refining done to Group I and some cracking done for Group III. Groups IV and V are called "synthetic" oils because they have been subjected to several synthetic refinery processes. Group IV is made up exclusively of poly(α-olefin)s, while Group V is a catchall group that includes polyol esters and polyalkylene glycols "
that is the reason why some manufacturer can offer the same full syn engine oil but cheap ... because of lower based oil used. = ) ... not like it matter much to many people.
