I've been using Motul oils in my bikes for many years. I see by the specs that they contain more of the "older" addatives that used to be in car lubricants a few years ago.
For instance Motul 3000V Factory Line oil is either a 10w40 or 15w50 API SL & Jaso MA which I use in my MV Agusta. Bike engines tend to run hotter and rev higher than their equivalent 4 wheel counterparts.
Anyone know the disadvantages (if any) of using a motorcycle oil in a car like the Boxster?
