Hey guys,
PDM sells MOTUL oils I was wondering If anyone uses or knows or anyone that uses them.. what are the pros and cons to these oils ?
Thanks a ton ( specifically Manual transmission oil )
MOTUL oils ... anyone use ?
I currently use some Motul in my motorcycle. Heard it was really good for the transmissions in motorcycles and helps keep their clutches really wet. That is the only experience I have had with them. Really high quality stuff though, blows Mobil One out of the water, and I was an avid Mobil One fan. Don't know if that helps but thats my experience.
I've tried a few of the Motul line.
their diff oil is really good. You can run it for a while and it'll help clean the diff. Lasts quite a while too.
The RBF 600 brake fluid isn't that great. Although it's got a really high boiling point, it soaks up water like a sponge. You'll need to flush your system after about 6-8 months if you live near a coast. It's good if you're doing track stuff, but not really because of the high maintainence for a daily driver. Since then, I've personally switched to ATE Super Blue brake fluid. It's somewhat more resistant to water absorption and has a very high boiling point. Lastly, it looks damn cool since it's blue. lol
Their gear oil is very good. Not the full synthetic stuff, even Don didn't recommend that for used trannies, only if you've got a new transmission and stuff like that he said. The motylgear stuff is pretty comparable to the redline mt90. It's quite good either way you go.
I've yet to try their motor oils though, I've been using mobil 1 with quite a good deal of success and if it's not broken, don't fix it. Although I may give it a spin sometime in the future when I've got some time to experiment with oils for my motor.
