Motul Products

anybody ever used any motul products?
http://www.pdm-racing.com/products/motuloil.html

I used the 8100 motor oil the last 7k miles and the car ran like a champ. everything was much smoother and it ran harder than it ever has. i'm a current mobil 1 user though. I just wanted to see what the hype of it was about and i would recommend this myself to anyone who likes to run hard.

It's the only oil I've been using since I bought the car. My motor loves it and runs like new. I don't mind paying extra for it.

I run motul products in my Aprilia Sportbike, and won't run anything else.

The engine is a dry sump, and shares engine oil (semi-synth) with the clutch and for some reason the clutch ONLY seems to like the motul formulation that I use. Additive pkgs are critical in this application, as it's a V-twin -- and the torque characteristics of the engine components are sensitive to change.
I TRUST this brand, but I use Mobil1 in the max.

I just don't feel it necessary to spend THAT much more for the Max, as I feel that M1 is virtual overkill as it is.

Good product though, if you feel like spending the dough!

I've heard of it before. Suppose to be good stuff. Surely pricey though.
