Morris 10w60 Fully Synthetic Racing Engine Oil - API SN/CF - M Sport Racing - 2x5L
Multivis MLR 10W-60 is a fully synthetic multigrade motor oil developed directly from motor racing...Multivis MLR 10W-60 is a fully synthetic multigrade motor oil developed directly from motor racing technology, where it has proved to be far superior to conventional oils under these arduous conditions. This oil has an extremely wide viscosity rating and will provide superior performance in petrol engines. Features: The synthetic oil technology provides outstanding advantages over conventional mineral oils. Naturally high viscosity index, giving good flow rates to bearings at low temperatures, coupled with tremendous film strength at high temperatures. A natural low level of volatility, which prevents valuable oil constituents boiling off during periods of extreme temperatures inside the engine. Better thermal stability. Improved high temperature deposit control. Superior antioxidant performance. Applications: Multivis MLR 10W-60 is recommended for all turbo-charged and naturally aspirated petrol and diesel engines, for ordinary road use and also for car racing, endurance events, rallying and all other types of motor sport. Performance Levels: API SN / CF.
This guide is for motorsports enthusiasts and owners of high-performance petrol and diesel engines. The key benefit is superior engine protection and performance under extreme conditions, derived from motor racing technology. A caveat is that its specialized formulation may be overkill for standard daily driving. This fully synthetic multigrade motor oil offers an extremely wide viscosity rating and is designed to outperform conventional oils in demanding environments, providing enhanced protection and stability for racing and high-stress applications.

FAQs
Is Morris 10w60 MLR suitable for my daily road car?
While technically it meets API SN/CF standards for many petrol and diesel engines, its 10W-60 viscosity is very high and designed for extreme conditions. For typical daily driving, especially in cooler climates, a lower viscosity oil might be more appropriate and fuel-efficient. Consult your vehicle's manual for the recommended viscosity.
Can I mix this oil with other engine oils?
It is generally not recommended to mix fully synthetic oils with conventional or semi-synthetic oils, or oils from different brands, especially for performance applications. Mixing can compromise the performance and protective properties of the synthetic base. For best results, use it as a complete fill.
What is the difference between this racing oil and a standard 10W-60 oil?
This 'M Sport Racing' variant is developed directly from motor racing technology, implying a higher focus on extreme temperature protection, shear stability, and high-stress durability compared to standard 10W-60 oils intended for less arduous use.
How does the low volatility benefit my engine?
Low volatility means less of the oil evaporates or 'boils off' at high engine temperatures. This leads to less oil consumption, maintains the oil's protective film, and prevents carbon deposits that can form from evaporated oil constituents.
What does API SN/CF mean?
API SN is the latest performance standard for gasoline (petrol) engines, offering improved fuel economy, extended catalyst life, and protection against timing chain wear. API CF is a standard for diesel engines, indicating protection against wear and deposits.
How often should I change this oil if I'm using it for racing?
For racing applications, oil changes are typically much more frequent than for road use. Consult your racing team or the specific event regulations, but changes after every race or every few hours of track time are common.
Troubleshooting
Engine runs hotter than usual.
While this oil has excellent thermal stability, ensure your engine's cooling system is functioning optimally. Overheating can be caused by factors unrelated to oil, such as radiator issues or coolant levels.
Difficulty starting in extreme cold.
The 10W-60 viscosity is optimized for high temperatures. For engines consistently operating in sub-zero temperatures, verify if a lower 'W' rated oil is recommended by the manufacturer for cold starts.
Increased oil consumption.
Check for external leaks. While low volatility minimizes internal consumption, excessive consumption could indicate worn engine components or incorrect oil grade for the engine's condition.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Exceptional protection in extreme temperature and high-stress conditions.
Synthetic technology offers better performance and longevity than mineral oils.
Maintains consistent lubrication across a wide operating temperature range.
Reduced oil consumption due to low volatility.
Suitable for both naturally aspirated and turbo-charged engines.
Cons
May be too thick for some older engines or in very cold climates for daily use.
Higher cost compared to conventional or semi-synthetic oils.
Potential for reduced fuel efficiency in non-performance applications due to its high viscosity.
Not explicitly designed for ultra-low-temperature start-up scenarios typical of everyday commuting in extreme cold.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This oil meets API SN / CF performance levels, making it suitable for most modern turbocharged and naturally aspirated petrol and diesel engines.
Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual to confirm the manufacturer's recommended oil viscosity grade and specifications before use.
While suitable for racing, it's essential to ensure 10W-60 is the correct viscosity for your specific engine's requirements, especially concerning operating temperatures and clearances.
Care & Maintenance:
Oil Changes: Follow the oil change intervals recommended in your vehicle's manual or by your racing team. For motorsport use, more frequent changes are often advised.
Storage: Store the oil in its original containers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure containers are tightly sealed.
Disposal: Dispose of used engine oil responsibly according to local regulations. Never pour used oil down drains or onto the ground.
