People swear by Motul 7100 Synthetic Oil 4T.
Motul with oem black filter
Now I won’t say it felt faster, but it does seem smoother for some reason. Maybe I’m trying to justify $22.50 per quart.
I use motul 300v and that's exactly how it comes out
That's motul 300v, a high quality race oil that I use in my tuono. It's quite pricey but has a garish green colour. The smell of fuel is quite normal after a few thousand miles, if you had excess fuel in the oil it would be a much thinner consistency.
Motul 300V is a green oil designed for racing bikes, but some people put it in street bikes. I used to use it in my SV650 because it helped it to shift smoother.
I recently ordered my 5W-40 Motul 8100 X-cess oil for my 2016 Golf R and the label changed and it now says "gen 2" on the front. It appears the first version of this will remain available for some time but Gen 2 is backwards compatible and still VW 502 spec and is safe to use but this version specifically addresses euro 5 / Euro 6 emissions on newer low displacement, forced induction vehicles that are putting down high horsepower so this oil is an improvement for the EA888
Motul, however, recently reformulated their flagship oil, 8100 X-cess 5W40, to a Gen2 version that‘s reformulated to keep the BMW LL-01 certification. It also has Porsche A40, Mercedes-Benz 229.5 & 226.5, and VW 502 00/505 00 approvals. Compared to the Leichtlauf, it also has greater oil film strength (HTHS) and a higher viscosity index that will give better performance, durability, and longevity over a full oil change interval.
I'm one of those "risk takers" that went with Motul 5w40 X-Cess. The oil has been fine as far as I can tell but I'm no expert.
I tried Motul 7100 oil, man that thing is awesome, but expensive. Lasted be 1800miles before change
