    Why Should You Choose Motul H-Tech Oil?

    in Automotive Catalogues and Specials:

    Posted

    Choosing the right engine oil for your car can seem like a daunting task, especially with the number variations and scientific terminology adorning each bottle of engine oil lining the shelves at your local automotive store. That’s why Motul have devised their new range of premium everyday 100% synthetic engine oils suited to late model vehicles, known as H-Tech.

     

    “So what’s the big deal with synthetic engine oils?” you may be asking. In general, the key difference between conventional and fully synthetic engine oils is that synthetic oils contain high performance fluids and a system of technically sophisticated additives to help prevent wear, keep an engine clean, maintain viscosity, prevent rust and reduce friction.

     

    Synthetic oils can be engineered to perform more effectively than conventional engine oils across a wider range of conditions. Their performance is more robust, in terms of low-temperature pumping and flow as well as high-temperature oxidation stability. They stay fluid at very low temperatures when conventional oils start to thicken,and remain stable at very high temperatures when conventional oils start to break down.

     

    oil1-1.png

     

    Under extreme driving conditions synthetic oils offer clearly superior protection and performance. Extreme conditions include:

     

    • Stop-and-go driving;

    • Short trips;

    • High temperatures, particularly in modern turbocharged engines;

    • Cold start-ups.

     

    This translates to less engine wear to help keep your engine running strong like new, as well as a long engine life.

     

    Conventional engine oils also contain significantly more impurities and undesirable contaminants that cannot be removed and synthetic oils do not possess. Because they are ‘purer’, synthetic oils contribute to lower emissions and don’t do as much damage to your catalytic converter, whilst also tending to last longer because they naturally break down slower than conventional oils.

     

    If your engine is high performance, or you simply demand the best performance possible from your engine oil, then Motul H-Tech is the perfect choice.

     

    oil2-1.pngoil3-1.png

     

    Motul H-Tech 100 Plus 0W-40 and 10W-40 provides the ultimate level of performance in all modern petrol engines. H-Tech 100 0W-40 has been engineered for cold environments for easy engine start-ups. Both engine oils have been designed to meet the API SN specification, providing exceptional engine protection and excellent anti-oxidation properties to prevent premature oil thickening and ageing due to thermal stress, which maintains a clean engine.

     

    oil4.pngoil5.png

     

    MotulH-Tech 100 Plus 0W-20 and 5W-30 have been designed for those seeking fuel economy performance. They have been designed to meet both the ILSAC GF-5 and API SN specifications, while providing the ultimate level of power especially for modern petrol engines, as well as exceptional engine protection and fuel economy with the latest technology to ensure emission control systems durability. The high performance anti-wear, anti-corrosion and anti-foam additives result in the reduction of internal friction in the engine thus increasing engine life.

     

    oil6.png

     

    Motul H-Tech Prime 5W-40 has been specifically designed for new generation petrol, diesel and LPG-powered engines, turbocharged or direct injected. It’s outstanding detergent and dispersant properties meet the ACEA A3/B4 requirements, with superior anti-sludge and anti-wear performance to keep your engine clean and protected.

     

    Motul H-Tech 100 and Motul H-Tech Prime can be mixed with synthetic or mineral oils.

     

    Always refer to your vehicle’s owner manual or handbook before use, and remember that with all oils, regular oil changes are essential.

    Motul Engine Lubricant Range Explained

    in Automotive Catalogues and Specials:

    Posted

    range1-1.png

    range2.png

     

    MOTUL 300V Range – 100% synthetic ESTER Core

     

     

    Motul has built its reputation on the motorsports range of oil called 300V. Suitably named after exceeding 300 victories achieved with this formulation incorporating Motul’s proprietary Ester technology. Each viscosity is referenced against different engines in different racing categories. Porsche, Nismo and Mugen are but a few. The 300V range is accompanied by competition gear oils, brake fluids and cooling fluids to ensure the highest level of protection and endurance in the most extreme conditions.

    The 300V range can be used from the highest level of motorsport down to the everyday level of performance cars. 300V can be used in either spark ignition or compression ignition vehicles which is to say:

    - Petrol (Leaded, Race Leaded, ULP, and PULP, Race Unleaded)

    - Diesel (Standard, Ultra Low Sulphur, Bio-)

    - Ethanol (E85, E100), Methanol and Alcohol

    *Warning – Drain intervals for race fuels, including Ethanol, Methanol and Alcohol fuel types are subject to fuel dilution and water absorption. Neglecting to drain at suitable intervals will cause irreparable engine damage.

     

    To find out more about the Motul 300V range, visit the Motul website HERE.

     

    IMPORTANT –There is an exciting new product range release for 2015 that all users of E85 need to know about. Read on to find out more!

     

    range3.png

     

    MOTUL 8100 Range – 100% Synthetic

    The 8100 range has a comprehensive list of OEM approval oils to suit the modern European vehicles meeting strict Euro 4, Euro 5 and Euro 6 emissions standards.

    The range is broken up by 6 categories, 3 categories are for fuel economy, with the remaining 3 categories covering engine protection. What defines these categories relates to SAPS and HTHS.

    range4.png

    What is SAPS and HTHS?

     

    SAPS stands for Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus, Sulphur. All of which are naturally occurring elements in fluids refined from crude oil such as engine oil and diesel fuel.

    There is currently a focus to remove these elements from oil and diesel fuel to reduce hazardous emissions and improve fuel economy.

    When SAPS enter the combustion cycle on diesel engines, the particles leaving the exhaust will block up DPF’s (Diesel Particulate Filters – think of it as an air filter on your exhaust) and CRT (Continuously Regenerating Technology – similar to DPF but it works continuously). The reason for these filters on your exhaust is to capture the black soot and burn it off.

    The down side is that SAPS are also antiwear additives, corrosion inhibitors and detergents. New additives are being developed every year to replace SAPS and provide an environmentally friendly lubricant and fuel.

     

    HTHS is a standard test method for measuring viscosity of new and used engine oils at High Temperature and High Shear by a Tapered Bearing Simulator Viscometer at 150°C.

    Oils with low HTHS provide improved fuel economy but sacrifice engine protection.

    Low HTHS = 2.9-3.5

    Oils with a high HTHS provide engine protection over fuel economy.

    High HTHS = 3.5 and Above

     

    To find out what the HTHS is for any of the 300V and 8100 range, go to the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and look at the physical properties.

     

    For ease of recognition Motul has prefixed all of the ‘Fuel Economy’ oils with ‘Eco’. The range includes:

     

    range5.png

    8100 Eco-nergy 5W30 (Full SAPS – Low HTHS)

     

    range6.png

    8100 Eco-clean 5W30 (Mid SAPS – Low HTHS – C2) *DPF

     

    range7.png

    8100 Eco-clean+ 5W30 (Low SAPS – Low HTHS – C1) *DPF

     

    range8.png

    8100 X-cess 5W40 (Full SAPS – High HTHS)

     

    range9.png

    8100 X-max 0W40 (Full SAPS – High HTHS)

     

    range10.png

    8100 X-clean 5W40 (Mid SAPS – High HTHS – C3) *DPF

    range11.png

    8100 X-clean+ 5W30 (Mid SAPS – High HTHS – C3) *DPF & Extended Drain Interval

     

    You may notice that there is no C4 (Low SAPS – High HTHS) oil listed and we’ll get to that shortly.

     

    MOTUL Specific Range – 100% Synthetic

    Next to Motul’s 8100 range which has a comprehensive list of approvals per product, Motul also has a specific range which caters for precise OEM specifications and like the 8100 range they carry a letter of approval from the OEM.

     

    range12.png

    SPECIFIC 948 B 5W-20 (Ford Based Engines)

    This is a fuel economy oil with a very low HTHS and is to suit late model Ford (Falcon V8), Jaguar, Land Rover, Chrysler, Jeep.

     

    range13.png

    SPECIFIC 913 D 5W30 (Ford Based Engines)

    Although this is a fuel economy oil it is Full SAPS, low HTHS oil providing moderate protection. Again this suits the late model Ford, Jaguar, Land Rover vehicle with small engines (1.3-2.5L)

     

    range14.png

    SPECIFIC 504/507 5W30(VW Auto Group/ VAG)

    This is an extended drain interval for VAG based engines with or without DPF. The 504/507 specification is backward compatible with 502/505 and all previous specifications. 502/505 is for short drain intervals. This approval is also found in Motul’s 8100 X-clean+ 5W30.

     

    range15.png

    SPECIFIC 0720 5W30 (Renault Based Engines)

    Here is the C4 oil we previously mentioned. This is a low SAPS but high HTHS oil. In Australia, the only vehicles requiring this is the Renault/ Nissan/ Infiniti vehicle fitted with the V9X engine.

     

    MOTUL H-Tech 100 Plus Range – 100% Synthetic

    The new H-Tech 100 Plus range is a premium everyday oil range suited to late model ADM, JDM and KDM vehicles. H- meaning Hydroprocessed or G3+ base oil.

     

    range16.png

    H-Tech 100 Plus 0W20 - API SN/GF-5 (Fuel Economy Oil)

     

    range17.png

    H-Tech 100 Plus 5W30 - API SN/GF-5 (Fuel Economy Oil)

    range20.png

    H-Tech Prime 5W40

    In addition to the API SN standard H-Tech Prime carries approvals from Mercedes Benz and VAG for short drain intervals. The ACEA standard of A3/B4 certifies this oil as providing superior engine protection in extreme conditions.

     

    Multipower Range – Technosynthese

    Here is the semi-synthetic (Technosynthese = Semi-Synthetic) range suited to older vehicles or vehicles with high mileage requiring API SM or previous API standards SL, SJ, SH.

    For pre-1980’s engines in vehicles of value which require era-specific oils, use the Motul Classic range which is outlined further on.

     

    range21.png

    Multipower Plus 10W40

     

    range22.png

    Multipower 15W50

     

    range23.png

    Multipower Plus 20W50

    All Multipower products carry API SM or SL standards.

     

    MOTUL Historic Range – Era Specific Chemistry

    The Historic range is easily recognisable by the classic Motul logo in a black metal tin.

     

    range24.png

    2100 15W50

    range25.png

    SAE 20W50

    Specifically designed for engines built between 1950 and 1970. It is a multi-grade mineral lubricant with moderate detergent and is compatible with elastomer gaskets.

     

    range26.pngrange27.png

     

    SAE 50 and SAE 30

    These lubricants are suited for engine and gearboxes built between 1900 and 1950. They are a mono-grade mineral oil with a very low detergent level for complete compatibility with paper/ felt/ fabric gaskets.

    SAE30 and SAE50 are very high in zinc and have no friction modifiers making them perfect for the running-in of new engines.

     

    Now for the big announcement - New product release for 2015

     

    There is a growing popularity in the use of E85 fuels and even more so now that many states in Australia have it available at the bowser. Significant advantages can be had using E85 fuels which primarily comes down to horsepower. The side effects of using E85 fuels varies depending on what it’s derived from (Corn, Sugar or Wheat) and the degree of hygroscopicity (hygro- ‘moisture’, scopic ‘seek out or look for’). Simply put E85 sucks water out of the air and will cause rust, corrosion and sludge in your fuel system and engine internals if neglected. One other consequence is that service intervals are reduced dramatically. If you are having to change your oil 3 or 4 times more frequently, Motul can understand why a more cost effective alternative is what you need.

     

    Motul Sport 100% Synthetic Ester range – NEW FOR 2015!

     

    range28.png

    Motul 300V Racing Oil Range

    in Automotive Catalogues and Specials:

    Posted

    oil1.png

     

    Motul, manufacturer of world class lubricants and pioneer of Ester technology, announces the latest evolution of their 300V line of automotive racing oils. Using Esters at the heart of its technology, 300V is recognized worldwide as a leading racing oil product.

     

    The 300V range suits all racing gasoline (Leaded, Unleaded, Ethanol, Methanol) or diesel engines, naturally aspirated or turbocharged fitted with injection (direct /indirect) or carburetted. (For race prepared engines operating over a wide range of rpm and temperatures.)

     

    This new reformulation further improves engine lubrication with its advanced blend of Esters, 100% synthetic base oils and a package of innovative additives.

     

    Today’s highly developed engines make far greater power for their displacement and this places greater demands on the engine’s oil. Knowing these demands, Motul’s R&D department developed the reformulated 300V with two important targets in mind: an increase in engine power – the main focus in competition; and increased engine reliability.

     

    The result of comprehensive development is Motul’s newest technology, Ester Core®. Used exclusively in the reformulated 300V, Ester Core provides an increase of up to seven-horsepower in comparison with that attained by rival products. Add in extremely low oil consumption and perfect engine protection even in extreme conditions, the 300V range remains the benchmark in motorsports lubricants.

     

    The reformulated 300V line now has eight different product options.

     

    Six viscosities found previously in the line include:

    • 0W20

    • 5W30

    • 5W40

    • 10W40

    • 15W50

    • 20W60

     

    Two new additional viscosities include:

    • 0W15 for pure performance

    • 0W40 for power and optimized reliability
