    Any best Synthetic Oil for euro?

    My euro near 10k service, so just think about which engine oil I will put in?

    I really like MOTUL oil, but MOTUL have lots of types:
    300V LE MANS 20W60
    300V COMPETITION 15W50
    300V CHRONO 10W40
    300V POWER 5W40
    300V POWER RACING 5W30
    300V HIGH-RPM 0W20

    Which one the best for the euro?
    Thanks!

    You don't need 300V - there are cheaper Motul full syn which are fine for road use. From that list only use.

    300V CHRONO 10W40
    300V POWER 5W40
    300V POWER RACING 5W30

    Do NOT use the other viscoscity oils.

    There is really not a difference between 5w and 10W...

    300V is good if you track your car but 8100 X-Cess is good enough....

    No point running a 10w when you can purcahse other oil's which are perfect for the euro..
    For the aus weather, street driving i would only ever use:

    0-40w
    5-40w
    0-30w
    5-30w

    It's o.k to run 10w but why bother when there are oil's out there that meet the euro's engine specifications perfectly for protection and performance hot & coid.
    I always run castrol formula r 0-40w summer and winter.

    I've used 300V CHRONO 10W40 and the engine runs a lot smoother with less vibrations and produces a bit more power (from my butt dyno).

    ^^as above any of those oils that are 5W30-40 will be fine.Motul 300v range i think is overkill for a Euro.There's one range below it(can't remember what it's called1) that'd be suitable and it's still full synthetic and it's easier on the wallet.

    I've been using 300V 10w40 since my very 1st service. Will be changing to the 5w30 one at next service.

    I used to use 300V Chrono, never had any problems with it. Although most people will suggest 300V's oil are overkill for street use, so if you never track your car, why spend that much

    I never track my car, but I want always keep my car in the best condition, so 300V Chrono 10w-40? that is good enough? someone said 5w- or 0w- maybe the better for the euro?

    a 0w or a 5w is better for the euro,

    I would put a 0w in, better flow around the engine when cool.

    The 10w are o.k, but for street use and start/stop driving it's not ideal asit's going to take longer for the oil to warm up to operating temp and to also flow around the engine.

    If you want the Motul 300v range there's also 5w30 Power Racing but i haven't seen it anywhere in Sydney.
