The price of this oil makes that policy worth the extra trouble shipping it. So far all I see is Motul 300V but their site says its racing oil and not good for daily driving.

I buy mine on Amazon, free shipping with prime, and don't forget to use the MVS link to get MVS credit. My husband has a prime account so I order my oil from them. June

Can you drive a car like one of these photos? I have ridden in a factory equipped 426 hemi Plymouth Road Runner in yellow back in the 80's. He wouldn't let me drive it though... the slam you in the seat feeling was a real rush! Too many years seeing Nascar on the tv. I suspect those cars are hard to drive. June

Nope, used to drive my Fiesta ST and now I take my 94 Miata. I sold the Fiesta the day before one event at Harris Hill out by Austin, so I took the Volvo, which I drove on the no-helmet parade laps. Even going slowly, it was understeer and wheelspin at every corner. That's why I'm looking to install a limited-slip differential when I have my transmission out soon, and decent tires after that. My big dumb wagon will never be a track terror, but an LSD and decent tires will at least help it keep up.

Misha, I am curious how your car does on the 4100 group 4 100% synthetic oil. My car is doing quite well on the group 5 oil 35K miles now. One thing for sure you are definitely doing your car a favor! June

Motul 4100 15w-50 should be semi-synth:

Where did you found that it's 100% synthetic?
Unless you misplaced it with 300v series.
