motul gear 300

The Perpetual Revolution
Very severe mechanical constraints at circuits and on rallies require
an engine lubricant ensuring optimal and constant performance.
As a recognised long-standing major motorsport player, Motul benefits
from the world’s best laboratory to test its lubricants in the most extreme
racing conditions.
In 1971, Motul grabbed the limelight when it launched the first 100%
synthetic lubricant ever designed for cars: the famous 300V, applying
aeronautical technology. Since then, Motul’s R&D department has put its
research resources towards continuing re-formulation of its 300V products.

This constant evolution allows the 300V range to remain as the motorsport
reference point, with two important targets always in mind: increase in
power – the main focus in competition – and increased reliability in spite
of the ‘downsizing’ phenomenon.
Technology
For several decades, Motul has perfectly mastered the technology
of esters. Combining this technology with an optimal selection of high
performance synthetic base oils, coupled with an innovative additives
package, gives exceptional synergy.
This is the latest Motul technological evolution:
.
Used exclusively in the 300V range, this technology guarantees
to obtain maximal performance, over and beyond existing standards.
technology guarantees you more:
POWER
Reduced internal friction.
RELIABILITY
High temperature resistance and oil pressure stability.
PROTECTION
Optimised polarity for maximal adherence of the oil film.
LOW LUBRICANT CONSUMPTION
Exclusive formulation of low volatility synthetic base oils.
BUBBLE Tag
TM
Thanks to the Bubble Tag , the seal on each tin can of 300V certifies
the authenticity of the formulation.
TM
Each unique, traceable, three-dimensional ‘bubble code’ gives a digital
imprint to each tin can.

Representing at racetracks a brand as prestigious as Ferrari, it is totally
ruled out for us to make any mistakes! With 300V 0W20, we are sure to get
maximum power from the V8 fitting our 458 GT2 while keeping a high level

Off-road rallies are a sport with extreme constraints. Whether in the cool

engine works perfectly and oil consumption remains very low.

Without 300V, Pescarolo Team would perhaps never have podiumed three
