Engine oil MOTUL or ELF

After a vigorous break-in and draining the factory fill oil at 1409 miles, added Motul 8100 X-cess 5W40 and then drove on a 5000 mile vacation from Wisconsin to the Pacific Northwest and back.

My Blackstone Labs analysis reports always come back with great results for my Motul 8100 X-cess 5w40. I get an analysis of every single oil change. It's a great oil.

All of the 8100 series Motul oils are ester based. I will only run the x-cess 8100 5w40 in my GTI.

i have run 300v in my engine since 2005 when it was first built no seal issues

I run Motul in both my 8 valves, 5w40 year round, it's awesome stuff.

Switch to Motul and hear the difference.

I don't know what all you others guys are doing but I run 5w40 full synthetic Motul. Best stuff... the people who said they seem to burn oil should try 5w40 synthetic, many people have shown improvements with it. I run it to 10,000 kms or 6K miles and the stuff still looks good.

I used to use Esther based Motul products and have nothing but good things to say. I've since switched to Lubro Moly since it's easier to get locally and is cheaper.

I currently use ELF Exellium NF, Motul is good too I was tempted to get it....you can also check out ECS Tuning, they sell Lubro Molly now, I think that's gonna be my next choice and I might stick with it. I've used Amsoil for about 20K miles and liked it too. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with Castrol Syntec 5w40 either, I've used it since new all the way till 60K miles.

oil consumption is way down since i've been using 300v.. and the smell isn't bubble gum.. it's burnt popcorn
