Product Information

Full details

The Motul 300V 4T Factory Line 5w-40 is a fully synthetic, ester-based engine oil for 4-stroke motorcycle engines, designed for motorsport and competition. Its key benefit is providing ultimate engine protection and enhanced power output under extreme race conditions, thanks to its 'Double Ester Technology'. A caveat is that its racing-focused formulation may be overkill for everyday street riding, and its benefits are most realized under high-stress, high-RPM usage.

FAQs

Is Motul 300V 4T suitable for street motorcycles?

Yes, it is suitable for high-performance street motorcycles, especially those that are frequently ridden hard or used in track days. However, its racing-optimized formulation may offer diminishing returns for casual, low-RPM street riding compared to its benefits in competition.

What is 'Double Ester Technology'?

It's Motul's proprietary technology using advanced ester base stocks that provide excellent lubricating properties, high thermal stability, and improved film strength, leading to enhanced engine power and protection.

How often should I change this oil in a race application?

In racing, oil condition is critical. It is generally recommended to change the oil after each race or every few hours of extreme use. Always consult your team or mechanic for specific recommendations based on your racing conditions.

Can I mix this oil with other brands or types of oil?

It is strongly recommended not to mix Motul 300V 4T with other oils, as this can compromise its unique performance characteristics and potentially affect engine protection. Always use the recommended oil type and viscosity for your engine.

What is the difference between 300V and other Motul oils?

The 300V line is Motul's top-tier racing lubricant, featuring advanced ester technology for maximum performance and protection. Other Motul lines might be formulated for different applications, such as daily riding, older engines, or specific OEM requirements, with varying balances of performance, longevity, and cost.

Does the 5W40 viscosity fit all motorcycles?

No, 5W40 is a specific viscosity grade. Always consult your motorcycle's owner's manual to confirm the manufacturer's recommended viscosity for your specific engine model. Using the wrong viscosity can negatively impact performance and protection.

Troubleshooting

Engine makes excessive noise after oil change

Ensure the correct oil level is maintained. Overfilling or underfilling can cause noise. Also, verify that the oil filter is correctly installed and sealed.

Oil appears milky or foamy

This could indicate coolant contamination. Check for leaks in the head gasket or cooling system. If the oil is new and exhibits this, ensure no water entered the engine during the oil change process.

Reduced oil pressure reading

Check the oil level immediately. If low, add oil. If the level is correct, inspect the oil pump, oil filter, and oil pickup for any obstructions or damage. A very thin or degraded oil can also cause low pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

  • This oil is designed for 4-stroke motorcycle engines.

Setup (Oil Change):

  1. Ensure your engine is warm but not hot for optimal draining.
  2. Locate and remove the oil drain plug.
  3. Allow the old oil to drain completely.
  4. Replace the drain plug and tighten to the manufacturer's specification.

  6. Using a funnel, fill the engine with the specified amount of Motul 300V 4T 5W-40.
  7. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes, checking for leaks.
  8. Shut off the engine, wait a few minutes, and check the oil level via the sight glass or dipstick, topping up if necessary.

Care:

  • Store the oil container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use.
  • Dispose of used oil responsibly according to local regulations.
